About this Petition Petition Letter

Hold BP completely responsible for the negligent oil spill. An oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico is spewing 200,000 plus gallons of oil a day. Still, efforts have failed to stop the oil from entering the ecosystem.

Who thinks of ideas after the explosion? Shouldn't there be thoughts of what to do in case of explosion or leakage before an explosion or leakage situation occurs?

BP is doing nothing more than pointing fingers at the company THEY hired to run the rig. BP is solely responsible and only BP.

Example: a general contractor does work in your house,the g.c. hires a sub-contractor to do the plumbing,the plumbing fails,the g.c. is ultimately responsible for fixing the failure.

BP must be held to the fire on this matter.

The EPA has come out with new laws and regulations in the construction industry. Where are the laws and regulations on the big money industries?

Our government has made it possible for some to be above the law. The Obama Administration needs to make an example out of BP. The Obama Administration needs to discontinue the view of letting the oil companies regulate themselves. Time and time again their regulations fall short of keeping us,them,and Mother Earth safe.

Mr. President, Respected Senators and Representatives,

You must make an example out of BP. No fine is too big. No extent of clean-up responsibility is too much. No degree of regulation is unwarranted.

You must begin to send a message to all oil companies,we will not allow them to destroy eco-systems without them paying a huge price. Not a huge price to the ordinary working man,a huge price relative to oil company profits. Hit them where it will make them think more about complying to environmental safety standards.

The Gulf of Mexico is a natural resource of uncanny proportions. It can not be replaced.

We demand that British Petroleum be held responsible for the plugging of the leak that is spewing 200,000 plus gallons of oil a DAY,the cleaning up of said natural resource,and any after effect to this natural resource for years to come.

Thank you for all that you do on this matter and we would appreciate a quick and effective response too. You must act quickly and diligently to preserve the areas not yet effected in THE GULF. You must help save our waters,our lands,our skies,also our lives!!!

[Your name]
