5/17/10 letter to Whitehouse.gov, Contact Mr.Bob Jindal(LA), Contact Mr.Bob McDonnell(VA):
Dear President Obama, Governor Bob Jindal (LA), Governor Bob McDonnell(VA),
When it comes to public policy, or politics for that matter, I very,very rarely frame my thoughts with such absolute conviction, but I can't contain myself any longer. I'm asking which one of you wants to stand up first when asked, "...and do any of you know of a jerk that still believes offshore drilling is a good idea?". Unfortunately, each of you have egg on your face now, because this time the events have not simply disappeared into the American public's distant memories which would have saved you from disgrace. These are current events; real, up close and they are dirty. Dirty for the ecology, dirty for American energy policy, dirty for the Obama administration's policy flip-flopping, dirty for the short-sighted Virginia Governor's greed and dirty for the Louisiana Governor's selfish political ambitions. The politics we are witnessing and the missteps of government have been astounding. You should all be ashamed for your misguided ambitions. Now let's let this terrible event be a lesson. And by the way, you all should have known better (and by damned it you all did). Only if a greater measure of common sense were to prevail and if you'd placed your responsibilities for the care of our environment ahead of your short-term and selfish ambitions... Shame on you.
