I feel like the country hasn't put enough stress into the fact that we are ruining lives and killing nature. <br />I wrote to both my congressman and my local senator and I actually plan to do so everyday.<br />Thanks again!Perfectly Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648593671809939666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463004368033910329.post-9191315785241643972010-05-26T23:12:45.352-04:002010-05-26T23:12:45.352-04:00I know how you feel!

I live in Alabama, and for the 21 years I have been alive EVERY summer, including the ones I cannot remember, my family and I have traveled to Gulf Shores once a summer if not twice. <br /><br />It is rediculous that they're just taking their sweet time. They have millions of dollars to jet set and travel and eat lunch with whoever or whereever they please, but we just can't seem to get a timely fix? and of ALL things that could be done they're settling with something that could even possibly make it worse? Seems like to me they should have tried something everyday since this happened and not make a lousy attempt every few weeks. I guess the coast isn't important enough or a big enough priority? We're just a bunch of dumb southern rednecks who can be pushed aside. Several people have come up with WONDERFUL ideas, but noone has bothered to use them...because it wasn't bp's idea. It makes me really freaking glad I am a republican and didn not vote for that man.<br /><br />If this was anywhere else, or any other ecosystem or landmark that was being harmed, you know it'd be fixed in a heartbeat. If only they understood what this means to so many people and how bad it truly and deeply hurts us. For people like you and I the coast isn't just a place that exists as a vacation. It's a second home, a piece of our heart, and a place that no value could ever be put on. These poor helpless animals that did nothing to deserve this and the poor people who are loosing everything because their lives depend on a fishing business. God Bless them all.<br /><br />If you're interested here is a group we started on fb.<br />http://www.facebook.com/?sk=2361831622#!/group.php?gid=124279470919924Livin' life the Southern Way...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488713984597316890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463004368033910329.post-45083966046917834642010-05-26T21:51:33.510-04:002010-05-26T21:51:33.510-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463004368033910329.post-71716256905863712592010-05-26T21:44:05.449-04:002010-05-26T21:44:05.449-04:00I can't agree more.
