202/456-1111 and ask that the President call upon the Dutch to help out in the Gulf with the Oil Spill, they have equipment that is able to skim & capture oil in the water. They have yet to be invited to come and help out!

Our Fish are poisioned & dying, our shrimp are poisioned, the oysters and scallops are poisioned and the waterfoul are dying that eat these things!!! The list goes on ad on and on......We will be next...............poisioned and dying..........

I think we should not be too proud to ask! If it is not too late already!

Just call the White House...make your voices be heard!

This is a huge deal, Cathy. Thanks!

Yeah it sure is a huge deal. I do not have any idea how these days ahead will unfold as a result of this spill, but I fear it will be awful and for a very very long time. I just do not understand how we would not call upon any and all help available to clean this mess up! I am at a loss...:confused: It is my belief that we should use any means available to help clean it up, BP should pay any and all $$$ for the task of claning it up. Tonight I am hearing (on the Anderson Cooper 360 CNN show) that BP is pulling some real underhanded crap, even going as far as putting on a front for the President when he was down there visiting, making it look like they are doing more than they really are in the clean up. It is horrible, there have been wars started over less that this! BP is horrible, I will NEVER EVER purchase gas from one of their stations again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not think people who do not live down close to the Gulf truly understand. I grew up down there since I was 16 yrs old. It is a beautiful area. My sons both live down there and make their livings from the Gulf, it sustains so-o-o-o many people their livelihoods. And the wildlife is just awesome! It truly is a special area, this oil spill is tragic beyond belief.

as with many other things going on - there is much, much more to this than is being told - and I think that if BP (which I never buy their gas) hasn't solved the problem yet - the government should step in and then FINE BP for everything

I never understood the answer to problems being fines.
It's like the Government fining Toyota. What's the purpose. It's not like that money goes to the people that had car problems or to the families that lost loved ones.

Fining BP? Why should the Government profit because of a disaster? I could understand the US Government getting off their butts and hiring those with the know how to get out there and deal with the situation. If the Dutch have the tech, then hire them to do it and to also send Nancy Halloway back while their at it. Get the mess fixed and cleaned up and then send BP the bill and make them pay.....Waiting a month to begin with makes me wonder. If I knock over a container of Vegetable oil, I'm pretty quick at picking it up and getting a cap on it. If I just let it keep spilling out and everyone stood there watching it run all over the place, I'd be getting yelled at for the mess I was making, and people would be running with paper towels.
