That said, what's really important is that you make these parties aware of the strength of your concerns. Tell these buggers your vote depends on this issue, that you mean business. E-mail the party leaders and speak out forcefully. Maybe, just maybe, if enough of us do that they'll have to listen.<br /><br />Best of luck and I sincerely mean that.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44022732524353476282010-05-04T19:27:59.708-07:002010-05-04T19:27:59.708-07:00As the oil slick begins to hit the coast of Louisi...As the oil slick begins to hit the coast of Louisiana, it seems to me that we are all responsible for the terrible damage that is being done, and it makes me sick at heart. If we the public don't start demanding alternate energy from renewables, our government and the oil companies will carry on as usual. I will never vote for any party that does not set forth a clear policy to switch from fossil fuels to renewables.LMAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-82383118233953594412010-05-04T14:23:12.924-07:002010-05-04T14:23:12.924-07:00Today Danny Williams of Newfoundland stood up in t...Today Danny Williams of Newfoundland stood up in the legislature and expressed his concern regarding what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico. What a farse it is. Newfoundland has had many small spills and a large one in 2005 where 160,000 litres from the Terra Nova platform was spilled.....this in the middle of the worlds largest bird breeding area. At the time, it was recommended that independent monitors be applied but it still has not happened. The audasity of the Premier to act as if nothing like this has happened in Newfoundland before and to show all this concern now is nauseating. You can find an interview with Biologist Dr. Ian Jones from Memorial University regarding what is not being report out of Newfoundland on CBC's "Here and Now Newfoundland & Labrador" on Friday April 30 with pictures of birds affected by oil and again on May 3 at 17:50 minutes into the program. It isn't a matter of where oil spills happen, it's a matter of oil companies not giving a dam and trying to make the ordinary tax payer pay for clean up. When is this greedy uncaring attitude going to change?Anyonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765384812104835792noreply@blogger.com
