My cousin sent me this; sorry if it's been posted already:

Dear Friend,

Don't you think it's terrible that people were forced to leave
their pets behind during Hurricane Katrina?

Please ask your U.S. Representative to support the PETS Act,
H.R. 3858, which would require state and local authorities to
plan for evacuating people with pets the next time a disaster
like Hurricane Katrina strikes.

It's quick and easy to do. Just click here:
