Thank you for signing the Katrina petition
Thank you for joining us for calling on the President and the United States Congress to appoint an independent, nonpartisan commission modeled on the 9-11 Commission to investigate government's response to the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina. Our goal is to collect thousands of signatures to impress upon the President and Congress how critical we believe it is that such a commission be appointed soon.
While the foremost priority now has to be the recovery of the affected areas and, especially, the dislocated residents, it is important that questions raised about government's response at all levels be addressed soon. Because a natural disaster or a terrorist attack can occur at anytime, now is the time to ensure that government is ready to respond more quickly and effectively than it did following Katrina.
