Something needs to be done NOW about the BP oil spill

Sure, we are all blogging about it, posting videos, looking at the shock images of birds covered with oil (All the photos here are courtesy of AP, & can be seen in the Huffington Post). But what is this really all about? According to the very very powerful testimony of a single resident, personally involved because the oil spillage is making her children ill, has killed the wildlife in her area of LA and she has personally watched what it means to allow BP to be in control of safety and thus in control of NOT giving people access to respirators, this means that IF NOTHING IS DONE THIS SPILL WILL DESTROY A THIRD OF THE WORLD'S WATER.

YESTERDAY AP printed a new image of the oil still gushing gushing gushing like an enormous storm cloud up out of the pipe into the sea. The oil has coated much of Alabama and Louisiana's coastline and is also washing up in Florida and elsewhere now.

Can we as a group of human beings not find a way to help that red tape get cut, and for real action to happen? I don't know. But certainly I would like to believe. I encourage you to watch this whole video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkYJDI8pK9Y&feature=player_embedded#! It is Kindra Arnesen Venice LA Local @ the Gulf Emergency Summit -click her name for the link as well.

It is not that visually dramatic. There is nothing to "SEE" on it, but one person's testimony is often all we need to hear. Can we hear it? Can we make it heard? Actions you can take:
