As you read in our earlier post, Daily Kingfish has signed on to the "BP Makes Me Sick Coalition" to encourage BP and federal officials to allow the use of respirators and other safety gear for the oil spill clean-up workers. So far, the attention and the response to this push has been great, with coverage in the New York Times, the Baton Rouge Advocate, and over 66,000 signatures and many more elected officials, organizations and candidates.
There's just no reason why the more than 47,000 oil spill clean-up workers shouldn't be able to wear proper protective gear while they are doing this difficult work to clean up our shores and wetlands. Have you signed the petition?
