 passage of this federal bill.\n\nSpecifically, Speaker Pelosi will be asked

 committee chairs where the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act sits to report back 
 to her office on HR 2269 before the Congressional winter recess;\nTo sign 
 on as a co-sponsor HR 2269.\nThe Gulf Coast Civic Works Act—which is 
 co-sponsored by a bipartisan group of 30 Congress members and supported by 
 more than 240 diverse regional and national student, faith, environmental 
 and community organizations—would create a minimum of 100,000 prevailing 
 wage jobs and training opportunities for local and displaced workers to 
 rebuild Gulf Coast infrastructure and restore the coastal environment 
 utilizing green building technologies.\n\nThe rally will include: \na 
 theatrical performance of "President Obama" and "Speaker Pelosi" announcing 
 an important new policy on the 4th Anniversary of Katrina;\nreflections 
 from survivors of Hurricane Katrina;\nthe reading of the names of the 1,836 
 people who died in Hurricane Katrina, and the planting of 1836 white flags 
 with the names of each person and age on the flag;\nthe delivering of the 
 attached open-letter to Speaker Pelosi, as well as 10,000 signed petitions 
 in support of HR 2269.  \nThe rally and press conference will be held this
