No matter where you live in our state, we have all been deeply struck by the events of the past few months and the consequences of this oil spill on the coast we treasure. Many times in this disaster I have been asked if Louisiana will ever recover.

Will we ever be the same? Will we still be Sportsmen's Paradise? Will our communities and our families triumph over this catastrophe? The answer to these questions is simply — Yes. ...

To outline our priorities in the month ahead, I recently announced the "Agenda for Revitalizing Louisiana" which states four priority initiatives, including:

1.) Implementing A Coastal Restoration Plan;

2.) Certifying Our Seafood And Getting Our Fishermen Back On The Water;

3.) Lifting The Moratorium So We Can Refuel America; and

4.) Holding BP accountable until the job is done. ...

The country watched our coast as the oil hit us month after month, and now we are inviting them to come here and be a part of another record-making revitalization. To our people in coastal Louisiana and all across our state: We will get our way of life back, and we will come back stronger and better than ever.

We will revitalize Louisiana.
