Boycott BP

Yes, it's that simple. They have used outdated spill stoppers (sorry we're not up on our drilling lingo), were ill prepared for such a spill, whistleblowers have come forward to say they were shortchanging safety regulations and have taken to out and out LYING about how much oil is being leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, some experts are saying the BP's oil spill is 10 times bigger than BP will admit to. Another fact we're looking at with this uncapped oil gushing free over thousands of square miles in the Gulf of Mexico, in another 11 days hurricane season starts.

Now, according to CBS News and being reported by several sources, a division of the US Military, the United States Coast Guard is telling reporters to get off public beaches and NOT TO REPORT what they are seeing. Said one Coast Guard member high on himself "Those are BP's rules, not ours".

Wait, hold on.

A foreign owned company, causing a natural disaster in US waters is telling a US branch of government who can and cannot be on United States public beaches in Louisiana? F that. We'd say firebomb your local BP station if that weren't so irresponsible and illegal but it's how we feel. BP now thinks it can co-opt a branch of the United States military to protect their sorry asses and cover up the indefensible? Not only is it time to boycott BP, it's time to shut down every goddamned one of their gas stations here in America. If they're so wonderful let the UK and UAE and Europe buy their shit. How DARE BP think they can act like this. Call your legislators, call the President, and most of all vote with your dollars and boycott BP, the company who wants to dump oil all over American beaches, hide from their responsibility (they're already judge shopping in Houston people), and then tell Americans they are not allowed to see the aftermath. There ought to be BP executives heads on pikes along that shoreline to show BP we as Americans won't simply allow them to walk away from this mess.

*BP is trying to get Louisiana fisherman to sign sign indemnification waivers so they get some money right now because there are no fish to fish but after that, they're on their own.

*BP, when they are found guilty for this will claim a timely bankruptcy limited fund so they don't have to pay out what they owe even though they make tens of billions in profits per QUARTER.

*BP tried to get workers who were either blown from, or rescued from the Deepwater Horizon rig were told to sign company release forms freeing BP and Deepwater Horizon from any blame BEFORE they were allowed to call their families back home on shore.

Johnny hereby DARES some lackey from BP to show up and defend this crap in the comments section....DARES them.

Just watch this INDEPENDENTLY filmed video against the wishes of BP and try not to cry and then ask yourself who is right, BP saying only 1000 barrels of oil a day are leaking or real experts who say it could be at least 5-10-20 times as much.
