Tell President Obama to demand that BP stop blocking

clean-up workers from using life-saving respirators

Join experts, political leaders, and thousands of Americans in signing the statement:

We cannot let the denial of protective gear that hurt so many 9/11 clean-up workers happen again with the Gulf clean-up workers.

President Obama and the federal government must demand that BP allow every clean-up worker who wants to wear respiratory protective equipment to do so -- and ensure that workers get the equipment and training they need to do their jobs safely.

    • i was 100% barack obama after i met you, president obama, when i met you at an april 10, '08 campaign rally in lafayette, in. i don't do the math in my head, but because of this terrible oil tragedy, (it's not a spill; it's comparable to a human death by bleeding out through an artery); your rating percentage with me has gone down, not gone, but gone down. who is running the u.s.government? who is the man in the u.s. white house? who is the man holding or filling the executive branch of the u.s. government? who has something in the u.s. constitution, or surely in some u.s. document, called executive power. i don't know the details of it, but i know "W" used it several times. is that our u.s. gulf, are those people trying to clean up our u.s. gulf, american citizens? i helped you get in MY u.s. white house. this is day 81, almost 3 mo., and i think all you have is a prayer and a promise from BP. the prayer should help but BP is lying, and has been for 81 days. the order for our u.s. citizens, should come from you, mr. president, not a british greedy, big oil company that should be ordered to drink their precious black gold; and they should be ordered out of our u.s.gulf. can't you do that? you are our duly elected u.s. president. i am still with you; i am proud of what you have done for our u.s.; i am delighted to have voted for our first black u.s. president. i am not racist, but those people you are trying to bargain with, are. they are called republicans, and some of our so-called democrats, who are spineless, and all tea-partiers. i was very proud of you today, in nevada, speaking on behalf of harry reid, and naming names. i wish i had the clout to run and become a senator. i know my politics well, followed it since JFK. thank, god, they haven't killed you. i was raised by a good hoosier democrat, simple farmer who had his ninth child, that would be me, right after the great depression; so he was an FDR, and TRUMAN democrat. would you please give them hell, harry?, those unfaithful democrats, and republicans, and tea-partiers and BP? our louisianian citizens, and i,
      am depending on you. and my dad leaned toward socialism; because he knew greed would soon seize and hold on to capitalism. that was done by greedy wall-streeters in 1929, and they're going to do it again. they made a real good shot at it when you came into office. remember? i have faith in you, still; and i am making a real plea to you, and i have been around a little longer than you have been, but you are "probably" a little bit smarter than i; although i was a school teacher, and am just 20 hours short of three degrees; but nothing in law; that is why you are our president, and i am not. i am powerless; you are not.
