Day 46 and growing bigger everyday!!! The BP oil spill now covers over 30,000 square miles of the gulf and is growing in leaps and bounds, with up to 780,000 gallons, gushing into the gulf, EACH DAY!! The closed fishing areas along the Gulf Coast now cover 88,502 miles, covering 37 % of the gulf! There have been organized protests in New Orleans against the crimes that have been and are still being committed against our tax paying citizens! In fact, there is now a CRIMINAL investigation into exactly what happened, before and after, the Deepwater Horizon explosion. Here's what's been going on, from abc news.
Various local groups have been protesting in New Orleans. I think that this is what we all need to do! Email your Congressmen, sign the petition, volunteer to help, or if you can, participate in a protest in your area. This is a national tragedy and if you would like to learn more or to help, go here. We are the ones who have to demand the changes that need to be made!
And Louisiana is now, not the only state getting a taste of oil. The toxic sludge is now washing up on Alabama and Florida beaches. Let us pray that the Top Cap will be successful, because I don't even want to think about what will happen, if this leak is not stopped! Even if it is stopped today, the spill will no doubt, follow the loop current around Florida and travel up the east coast! We must make sure that the tighter regulations are in place, before more deep water drilling is permitted! The ones that were in place before the previous administration relaxed them. Our future is at stake and we are the ones who have to do it! !
