Hurricane Katrina: What The Gulf Coast Deserves

Citizens of the Gulf Coast—like all Americans—deserve more from their government. They deserve:

• A government that can maintain life-saving levees.

• A government that can deliver emergency assistance when disaster strikes.

• The knowledge that people who lead vital agencies, like the Federal Emergency Management Agency, got their jobs based on competency, not connections.

• And a government that's committed to rebuilding the Gulf for the people of the Gulf, not to line the pockets of powerful special interests.
