[Peace] need more letters/emails to Congress to help Puerto Rico

[Debra Schrishuhn]

Folks,

In the combined aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico is
on the verge of a humanitarian crisis. Thirteen days after Maria made
landfall the President traveled to Puerto Rico, told them how lucky
they were not to have had a "real catastrophe like Katrina" and threw
rolls of paper towels at survivors as if they were so many trained
seals.

FEMA has yet to declare a full disaster emergency in Puerto Rico, and
Congress has yet to put together a robust aid package specifically
aimed at Puerto Rico's special needs.

Please use this link to send a message to our members of Congress:

Then call their offices and demand action now. Senators Durbin and
Duckworth have shown some leadership on this issue--Reps Davis and
Shimkus not so much.

Sen Durbin
202-224-2152

Sen Duckworth
202-224-2854

Rep Davis
202-225-2371

Rep Shimkus
202-225-5271

I talked to a staffer in the Puerto Rico Delegate's office Monday. He
pleaded for us to keep calling and emailing Congress--"Don't let them
forget about us," he said.

Use the link, write, and call today. Please.
