Caught between a rock and a hard place. The Gulf residents want the jobs and the tourism, but they also wanted the oil business. The Republicans are shouting not enough is being done, yet they are the ones who took large amounts of support from the oil companies, shouted "Drill baby drill" at their last conventionn,and turned their back on oversight claiming it hindered capitalism and free trade!! We need to quit pointing fingers and pool ideas to fix this! There are no easy, quick answers when the stakes are so BIG!!!!!!
Please, start a campaign to re-activate Lt. Gen. Russel Honore to once again "take charge" of our beloved Gulf region! We need his leadership and dedication in this time of crisis. The White House needs him as much as we do!
