Robert Greenwald is a producer of several short film documentaries on
subjects regarding wrong-doing. His take on the selling of the Iraq War,
the empire of evil that is Wal-Mart, Tom DeLay, Fox News are all excellent.

Dear Friends,
Today marks the two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and still
there are tens of thousands of families without homes. 30,000 families are
scattered across the country in FEMA apartments, 13,000 are in trailers, and
hardly any of the 77,000 rental units destroyed in New Orleans have been
rebuilt. To share some of these people?s stories, we have put together a
short film, "When the Saints Go Marching In."
During the making of this video, we heard the heartbreaking stories of good
people unable to return home. We have heard the story of the Aguilar family
who lost their home to the storm and only received $4,000 in payments from
their insurance company. We have met Mr. Washington, an 87-year-old man and
former carpenter, who owned three homes prior to the storm. He is still
living in a FEMA trailer today. And we?ve met Julie, who could have
returned to her job and normal life, if the government had opened up the
public housing units that she had lived in prior to the storm.
You can watch their stories here:

There is something very specific you can do to help. Sign the petition
urging the Senate to pass the Gulf Coast Recovery Bill of 2007 (S1668). The
bill is expected to come to a vote after Labor Day. Its passage will be an
important step toward rebuilding the infrastructure in the Gulf Coast
region.

Please pass the video on and encourage people to sign the petition. It's
important we all support the Gulf Coast region's right to return home and
put the needed resources toward rebuilding these families' lives.
Warmest regards,
