I JUST wrote them complaining about NO, and almost before I could hit SUBMIT I had a response!!

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and all
Americans send their thoughts and prayers to the families of
those who have lost lives and to all those affected by this
natural disaster.

The President is directing Federal agencies throughout the
government to do all in their power to assist the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. The top priority is to save and sustain lives.
President Bush established a White House task force to oversee
Hurricane Katrina response and recovery, and he convened a Cabinet
meeting to ensure that Federal agencies' efforts are timely and
fully coordinated. Residents of the Gulf Coast states affected by
the hurricane have lost loved ones, lost homes, and been displaced
from their communities, and they will have the full support of the
Federal government.

The President has called for the coordination of all parties
involved in the response and relief efforts. Federal, state, and
local governments are working side-by-side to deliver relief to
the areas physically damaged by Hurricane Katrina and to
communities across the South that will be affected in the aftermath
of the storm. Efforts and resources are focused on saving lives,
sustaining lives, and supporting long-term recovery. For
information and guidance you may wish to visit the FEMA website at
www.fema.gov or call 800-621-3362 or 800-621-FEMA.

The President has called on all Americans to support the relief and
rescue efforts through charitable contributions and aid. Americans
who wish to contribute can do so by contacting charities that are
assisting with hurricane relief. For more information on relief
and recovery efforts, please visit the USAFreedom Corps website at
www.usafreedomcorps.gov.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.
