It has been well over a year since the oil disaster of 2010 began in the Gulf of Mexico; it's end however is no where in sight. As time goes on and problems are left unresolved their impacts increase with each passing day. This past week the Alliance for Justice released a report describing the many problems with the Gulf Coast Claims Facility process. As perhaps the only viable option for fishermen, and local business owners to be "made whole," it is a tragedy that so many are left irrevocably damaged and inadequately compensated.

11 men who died one year ago in a run-away blowout on the Deepwater Horizon rig, many while fighting bravely to help their brothers escape. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families left behind.
Sick Gulf Workers, In Their Own Words:

Clean Water Act Fines Must Return To The Gulf For Ecosystem Restoration!
Take Action!!
It's time to stand with your Gulf Coast Waterkeepers and demand that Congress return all Clean Water Act penalties to the Gulf Coast.
We need your help to keep the pressure on Congress to make sure that BP pays to restore the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf communities. One year later, the Gulf Coast still needs your help. The BP oil disaster is not over. The oil is not gone. Gulf communities have still not been made whole again.
Take Action Now! |

Last week at the Baton Rouge Press Club Dr. Michael Robicheaux spoke in-depth about the large number of sick people that he has been treating since the BP oil disaster occurred. The sick include workers who worked on the response to the disaster as well as divers, fishermen and coastal residents.
Since the BP disaster began we have been receiving an unsettling number of calls from people dealing with unusual health problems. Dr. Robicheaux is an old friend and ally and we feel extremely grateful that he has enthusiastically stepped forward to help these sick Gulf Coast citizens who have had difficulties finding help elsewhere.
We encourage you to watch the video of Dr. Robicheaux's speech about what seems to be a growing health crisis in our Gulf Coast communities.
Dr. Michael Robichaux - Baton Rouge Press Club Press Conference.
