BP, and the entire oil and gas industry, must do everything in their power to stop the oil that is erupting from the Gulf floor. Simultaneously, however, the Gulf Coast must be defended from the oily onslaught that has already been released, but BP’s efforts there have fallen short. The government must take control of the clean up while BP remains solely responsible for writing checks.
Please use the form below to send a message to the White House and Congress today asking them to:
Federalize the disaster clean-up and designate a federal military disaster response director, similar to General Honore in the aftermath of Katrina
Hold BP financially accountable for all clean-up and impacts over the long-term
Force full transparency of impact data and clean-up efforts
Ensure changes in regulations and oversight help prevent accidents in the future while also requiring a better plan B.
This is the biggest environmental disaster our country has ever seen, and the full force of the United States government, as well as BP, must be deployed to make this region whole again.
