My Letter to Shaw and Carmody

Senator Shaw and Representative Carmody,

The Gulf Oilpocalypse has been going on for two months now, and all the Feds and BP have done is hindered and failed in at the least containing the spill. Governor Jindal tried to send out Ships to help in the cleanup efforts, but the Coast Guard and Feds forced them back to shore. People from all over the Gulf States and Louisiana are sick and tired of this intentional failure by our Over-Sized, Over-Taxing, Over-Imposing, and Completely Incompetent Federal Government and now is way past time for action.

On behalf of your constituents; I am asking both of you fellow Gentlemen of Louisiana to call for an Emergency Session of the State Legislature and demand that Governor Jindal take a stand and exercise States Rights under the 9th and 10th Amendments of the US Constitution. With every month, week, day, hour, and second that goes by the situation along our coast, in our wetlands, and throughout the entire Gulf continues to get worse and worse. We can no longer delay in waiting for DC or BP to save us; the time has come for the Gulf States to rise up, declare States Rights, roll up our sleeves, and take action.

Countless wild and sea life have been massacred, a lot of our brothers and sisters in the Gulf are going to lose their jobs, and the Volital Organic Compounds coming up, along with the Oil, are making a lot of people sick, and it’s only going to continue to deteriorate. BP and DC must be held responsible for their actions, and it’s now up to the Gulf States to do what needs to be done. I’ve included a letter that my friend, Rick Taylor; a Petroleum Geology wrote and has sent to Governor Jindal. I’m begging both of you to take action on this, and not allow the Feds and BP to get away with pushing the people of Louisiana and Gulf around anymore.

Sincerely,
James Burns
