This disaster WILL be a key issue in the November elections. Members of
congress should be climbing over each other trying to introduce
legislation to investigate, clean up and protect. Instead, we see

Bottom line, we need faster action, more transparency and a major
cleanup, not just of the ocean an shorelines, but of regulatory
agencies.
