Dear Friend,
Our deepest condolences go to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, who
lost their lives, their homes and their livelihoods. Our thoughts and
prayers are with them and their families.
While we are devastated by the enormity of this tragedy, our faith,
tenacity and determination ensure that we will rebuild and we will
endure. The American spirit of generosity will be evident in the days
to come, as communities in the afflicted areas come together and our
American family from coast to coast provides assistance.

All of our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the states of
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.
Speaker Dennis Hastert agreed to Leader Pelosi's call for a special
session of Congress, and we are coming together to make sure government
can meet its responsibility to its citizens. But this tragedy demands
nothing less than each one of us helping as much as we can and then
going the extra mile after that.
Click here to see how you can help.
Sincerely,
Rahm Emanuel
Chairman, DCCC
