Restore the Gulf Coast! Sign the petition!
Share it with your friends!
www.RestoretheGulf.com
We have joined with Women of the Storm, a non-partisan, grassroots organization formed in New Orleans and South Louisiana
in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, to support funding and implementation for Gulf Coast restoration. The group has harnessed
the latest in social media techniques as it seeks to capture hundreds of thousands of e-signatures that its members will take
to Congress and the Administration in a return visit to Washington, DC.
The innovative campaign emphasizes the importance of the Gulf Coast to America, especially in seafood, energy, oil and
gas, shipping, ecosystem and culture. Among its stars of its moving video are Sandra Bullock, Wendell Pierce, Lenny Kravitz,
John Goodman, Dave Matthews, Mary Matalin, James Carville, Drew Brees, Peyton and Eli Manning, Emeril Lagasse, Harry Shearer,
Dr. John, Leah Chase, Bryan Batt, Blake Lively, Alfre Woodard, Eric Harvey (of the band Spoon), Jack del Rio, Clay Hensley and many more.
The initiative does not advocate a particular piece of legislation. It simply seeks to demonstrate to national
leaders the strong and deep support across America for the essential funding for Gulf Coast restoration.
Please sign the petition at the url above, share it with all of your contacts and friends—and help
restore this crucial part of
our nation.
We thank you for using your voice to make a difference—and for being the one for the Gulf Coast.
