Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Today, oil is washing over the fragile barrier islands and residents nearby are complaining about dead wildlife washing ashore and the stench of crude oil. Even worse, new reports show that BP used its money and influence to shut down tough new safety rules that had been proposed for offshore drilling.We told the president that offshore drilling was a bad idea. We told him the dangers were real and the corporations in charge could not be trusted. Now, 11 hardworking Americans are dead and hundreds of miles of ocean and wetlands are threatened. Meanwhile, an entire regional economy is teetering on the brink of collapse just as it was about to enter its most profitable season.This disaster should be a wake-up call for Obama -- but we must make sure he hears the alarm. I just told President Obama that one disaster is more than enough; it's time to end off-shore oil drilling. Can you help by signing too? Act today and TrueMajority will make sure our message gets delivered NEXT WEEK.http://act.truemajorityaction.org/p/7002/nodrilling?petition_KEY=163 http://act.truemajorityaction.org/p/7002/nodrilling?petition_KEY=163 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
