Gulf Coast Civic Works Debate Question: Vote

As anybody who regularly watches candidates’ debates knows, questions about Katrina and New Orleans have been extremely rare, even though this is a valid national campaign issue. Here’s a chance to vote for such a question to be asked during either of the two debates, one Republican, one Democratic, which are slated for Los Angeles on Jan. 30th and Jan. 31st, and will be aired on CNN.

colorofchange.org is offering those of us who want to see Katrina recovery discussed to vote for the following:

Two years after Katrina and Rita and Gulf Coast schools, hospitals, police stations, roads and flood protection still lie in ruins, keeping displaced residents from returning and communities from recovering. Will you support H.R. 4048, the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act, as President to rebuild community infrastructure and create job and training opportunities for residents?

Per colorofchange.org, vote for the above question to be asked during the Republican and the Democratic debates.

Here’s the Republican question page.

And here’s the Democrats question page.

Please vote for this question–it’s time we heard more out of the candidates of both parties on Gulf Region recovery than we have been hearing.
