US must take control from BP now!

I am writing this desperate plea on behalf of the Ocean and all its inhabitants. The exploded oil well volcano in the Gulf of Mexico is a global disaster that crosses international lines and boundaries, crosses culture, race, gender, belief and species, impacting every thing living thing on planet earth. Every creature alive shares the common ancestral link and life line that is our blue water home. All creation on earth grows and flows with seas, as does the food chain that gives every creature life.

The drilling activities of BP in the Gulf of Mexico, their reckless, negligent and criminal actions that created the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and their incompetence to solve the gushing well, and their continuing pollution threatens to destroy our ocean ecosystems and our country's treasured coastlines and marine resources.

This epic environmental destruction caused by BP will make them infamous as the largest international polluter the world has ever known. BP will be remembered as the destroyer of entire marine ecosystems spanning the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. And for more than thirty days now, the disaster has continued to grow without a solution in sight. The growing damage will impact our way of life, our health and our economy.

The criminal activities of British Petroleum, Deepwater Horizon, and Halliburton must be stopped now.

President Obama must act now and order the US Coast Guard, EPA, NOOA, DEQ, and all available resources to take control of the disaster and protect our national resources. US authorities must immediately take control of the disaster site, find solutions to stop the flow, track the spill, execute effective clean up and containment operations, minimize damage where ever possible, and rescue, protect, and preserve every possible species of creatures and habitat. The delicate balance of our future's health depends upon what happens next. How will history remember this moment?

I urge you to take action on behalf of your planet and her oceans.

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill is Epic Ocean Disaster

The scale of the current disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is being under reported by the US media and ignored by the US president and government leaders. And while the world does nothing but watch in horror, millions of barrels of oil spew from a oil volcano, made by the oil corporations, a mile below the surface of the sea, where no one can stem the flow of poison to marine life. The pressure is so great at these depths, no one will confirm the rate of the oil flow, but this is an epic event, a greater "accident" than the petroleum age has ever known, and the future of this tide of destruction is undeniably vast. And still no one can stop the flow of oil.

Please, please stop thinking of this epic disaster as a simple oil "spill." Your future life truly depends upon the vibrant life of the sea, the ocean from which all life grows out of and prospers with and feeds upon. Every single bit of life on earth came out of the endless sea. The food chain upon which every living creature depends, begins and ends with our oceans.

And every single part of those oceans is connected to every other part, and every bay, every channel, every estuary, inlet, cove, every drop of water on our planet earth finds its way back to the Mother Sea from which it came. And so it will be with this oil slick.

Dead oceans mean dead people, and already the deadly mistakes made by the BP corporate oil barons have killed of millions and millions of our fellow marine creatures and ruined life for hundreds of thousands of people; their work, their health and their land, all covered in an oil slick. The entire Gulf of Mexico may already be dead from this endless oil flowing underwater.

This is a global disaster and with toxic implications for everyone, everywhere. No life will exist without the life of the oceans.

But where are the solutions? Where are the scientists? Where is the leadership we need to stop this poison before it ruins our entire "blue planet"? Where is the president, the coast guard, the EPA? Where is the international response?

And while the pollution continues to flow, and the unanswered questions grow and grow. How long will the oil volcano continue to erupt in to the sea? Can it be stopped?

Why is so little being done to remove the oil? Where are the tankers that can suck it up? Why is BP using poisonous chemical dispersants that have no proven helpful effect? Where are the absorbent hair booms, instead of useless plastic booms that do nothing? Who's going to clean up all that oil on every beach the Atlantic ocean touches?

Who speaks for the creatures of wings, and fins and scales, all my relations?

How, oh how? will we explain this to the children, and the future's children, why their world was being spoiled with the red blood of crude poison spread across the oceans far?

Millions of year from now, when some new creatures have evolved on earth, and they uncover the fossilized remains, will they ask each other, 'who killed off all the humans?'

I urge all of you to contact your local and state officials. Stand up and speak out. Make them aware of the facts and ask how they will prepare to prevent contamination and what action will they take to protect your local watersheds from this ocean disaster that will have permanent, long term effects to our entire coastline.

And if the government officials will not act on behalf of prevention, it will be left to the common citizens to make every effort to protect their own watersheds from certain contamination by the massive wave of ocean pollution coming your way.

For the sake of all my relations, every blessed living thing, creatures of earth and fire and sky and sea and stars, we must take every action possible to lessen this disaster.

And I pray that the Ocean be healed and cleansed, and that somehow the sea creatures will survive.
