10,000 letters to Congress. 10,000 reasons to rebuild. What's your story?

With your help we've delivered more than 10,000 letters to members of Congress demanding they take action and rebuild the communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Congress won't act unless we continue to remind them that real lives are affected and at stake. It's not just a Gulf Coast issue, it's an American issue - and it effects us all. Let's make sure that Congress hears the message loud and clear. Tell us your story. We'll post some of the best stories on our website and use them in the campaign to build support for those still fighting to return, recover and rebuild.

What's your story? Why does rebuilding the gulf states matter to you? Were you affected by Katrina personally? How did "Trouble the Water" affect you? Why did you decide to write Congress?
