November 22, 2009 Subject: As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to co-sponsor the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act (House Resolution 2269). No region of the United States has a greater need for rebuilding its infrastructure and restoring its environment than America's Gulf Coast. HR 2269 funds "green" resident-led recovery projects, building on the success of community organizations in Gulf Coast recovery, to help meet the overwhelming unmet needs of the individuals, families, and communities devastated by hurricanes Katrina, and Rita. Please contact the Office of Representative Zoe Lofgren (kate.christensen@mail.house.gov) to request to become a co-sponsor of the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act today! The program would be a pilot project administered by the Office of Gulf Coast Recovery and Rebuilding using a hybrid model to partner directly with communities in planning, overseeing and administering recovery projects to assist the survivors of these disasters, provide communities with tools to build resilience against the impact of future disasters and revitalize the region economically. The bill would create a minimum of 100,000 prevailing wage jobs and training opportunities for local and displaced workers on projects reinvesting in infrastructure and restoring the coastal environment utilizing emerging green building techniques and technologies. This program would empower residents to realize their right to return with dignity and create stronger, safer, and more equitable communities. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, We will add your signature from the information you provide.
