[StBernard] How to make the 8-29 Commission happen

[Westley Annis]

Call To Action	 

Momentum for the 8-29 Commission to
investigate the Levee Failures is growing fast! 

We need the 8-29 Commission because the Corps of Engineers investigated
itself in the original study, a clear conflict of interest. Meanwhile, the
results of this inadequate study are being used as the blueprint for our
future flood protection. An independent look at our flood system will
prevent further loss of lives and livelihoods due to faulty federal flood
protection. 

Democrats and Republicans are backing this idea, but we in Louisiana know
only too well we cannot sit back and hope. We must be pro-active and make
this happen.

Five Ways that You can make the 8-29 Commission happen:

Volunteer to Canvas.
"Canvassing" means devoting a little time strictly to collecting signatures.

Invite your favorite shopkeeper to display a petition.
Storeowners are often happy to accommodate their patrons and allow them to
display a petition at their checkout counter. You won't know if you don't
ask.
