SAVE THE DATE: Debut of TREME starring John Goodman
Levees.org
More than four years ago, when Levees.org began calling the 2005 Flood a "manmade federal" disaster, we were nearly a lone voice.
But things have changed a lot in four years. And is about to change even more!
We highly encourage you to watch the debut episode of HBO's new series TREME starring John Goodman.
(You may recall that John Goodman is a spokesperson for Levees.org and appeared in a 2007 public service announcement for us.)
The Series Premiere of TREME is Sunday April 11, 2010 at 9pm CST on HBO.
Rumor has it the character played by John Goodman in TREME will be saying many things that Levees.org supporters will love.
For example, we understand that in the opening scene, Goodman's character says this: "The flooding of New Orleans was a man-made catastrophe, a federal f--up of epic proportions, decades in the making."
Levees.org has apparently influenced the writers of TREME. This is ongoing proof that your efforts are paying off.
And what started out as the voice of a little grassroots group will soon become household knowledge.

Please be sure to watch the debut episode of what our sources close to the HBO series are calling 'the postcard about New Orleans that America didn't get.'
Invite your family and friends to a home viewing party!
The Premier episode of TREME looks like it will be evidence that your support of Levees.org is generating results.
And it looks like we're winning!
Thank you,
Sandy Rosenthal
Founder, Levees.org
