Tell the Senate to pass immediate recovery funding for communities ravaged by Superstorm Sandy
The extent of the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy is heartbreaking. In many cases people lost everything and remain displaced from areas that remain uninhabitable. Congress has a responsibility to provide the funding that communities, homeowners, and businesses need to recover and rebuild, and to provide it quickly.
We urge the Senate to pass the bill reported by the Senate Appropriations Committee, and oppose any attempts to weaken it.

Why is this important?
Superstorm Sandy damaged over 650,000 homes, 427,000 businesses and created severe hardships for hundreds of thousands of families. The U.S. Senate is currently debating a $60.4 billion aid bill to rebuild communities devastated by Superstorm Sandy. It’s expected that the U.S. House of Representatives will debate a similar bill in the coming weeks. These funds need to be appropriated as quickly as possible. Without immediate and adequate assistance from the Federal government the devastation will deepen for the families and communities that have already suffered.
