BP has caused an unprecedented environmental and economic disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and along with conservative politicians, a well oiled public relations machine and their countless and shameless lobbyists they continue to push for more irresponsible drilling and want to make us believe that what they are doing is righteous and necessary.
Enough. We don't need more shameless media games and manipulative political agendas.

Sign and share this petition to stop the bribes and demand clean energy! Elected officials bought off by oil money need to know they are accountable to us. The disaster in the Gulf shows what goes wrong when politicians put the interests of the oil industry ahead of the environment and the economy.

Sister Irma, You have said it...no wonder they are were saying Drill Baby Drill! And we wonder why President Bush's Administration gave the Bin Laden Family Free Airspace to fly out of the country during Sept 11th 2001 WTC Bombing. Just how much did the Bush family get? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when the check(s) were handed under the table.
Thanks for signing the petition!
