Just sent this off through Democracy for America asking for an Independent Commission to investigate the travesty in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Here's my message:

I believe that the Hurricane Katrina tragedy is a travesty. As an American citizen I demand an explanation for the sluggish response of FEMA. I want an Independent Commission to investigate so that partisanship does not control or interfere with the inquiry. There is no excuse for what happened and I expect those responsible for it to be held accountable.
