Disaster Relief -- South Dakota

CRST 2010 Disaster Relief

Chairman Brings Plenty

Thank you everyone so much for all of the contributions and donations. We are humbled and forever grateful. When the emergency subsides will be sharing a full accounting of how the resources have been utilized. We are now asking everyone's assistance in shifting focus to requests for federal disaster relief and the longer term task of fixing our damaged water infrastructure. Our battered water infrastructure, our water intake and water pipeline needs to be rebuilt to prevent these catastrophe in the future. Specifically we need:


(1) Please call your two Senators (Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121)
(2) Ask for the staffer working on the Jobs Bill or their “water appropriations” staffer
(3) Ask them/Or leave a message asking for $90 million to the Army Corps for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe water infrastructure project
(4) Any additional calls to the United States Department of Agriculture, the Department of Interior, or the White House are also helpful
