Please tell your senators you want an investigation. (w/poll)

Maybe this has been diaried already? I looked and didn't see anything.
Yesterday the Senate rejected a motion to set up a congressional commission to investigate "federal, state and local response" to Hurricane Katrina.
It should have been a non-partisan issue, but the vote split perfectly down party lines. All Dems voted yes (with one absence) and all Repugs voted no (with one missing: Vitter of Louisiana. Wonder what his problem is? <snark>)
Please write your Repug senators, if any, and tell them you're not happy with this. We need an investigation so that we'll be better prepared for the next disaster. It's not about blame, it's about fixing what went wrong. And if you're from North Carolina, be sure to tell our adorable twosome, Burr and Dole, that you're a little worried about North Carolina's next Big One.
