Rebuilding Louisiana

Written by: Sheri Divers on Aug 30, 2007 1:00 PM EDT

Two years ago, when Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Bush and FEMA failed to act. But while the Bush administration abandoned the people who lost their homes and loved ones, new leaders rose to the occasion.

Democracy for America is proud to endorse two people who braved the aftermath of Katrina and are fighting to rebuild their communities.

Join us in supporting Deborah Langhoff and Angelique LaCour for the Louisiana State House. Your $15 helps DFA put these great candidates over the top:

Deborah Langhoff lost her house, her business, and her community to flooding when the levees broke. But she didn't despair; Deborah attended the DFA Training Academy in Baton Rouge this past June, and now she's running for state office. She says it best: "Civic activism drives our recovery from the Katrina Disaster."

Angelique LaCour is running a true grassroots campaign, getting her friends and family involved, reaching out to her community, and working to rebuild the infrastructure of her state. Hurricane Katrina flooded her business in New Orleans, but didn't slow her down. Now she's determined to win a Democratic seat in her district, a Republican stronghold. "We know we are

the party of the people," she says. "The party that's going to raise our quality of life."

Democracy for America is contributing $1000 to their campaigns, to help them on their way to Baton Rouge. Will you join us in supporting them?
