BP Gulf Disaster & Health Issues in South Louisiana

"Flesh-eating Bacteria!" This is criminal and, of course, the White House killed any information regarding the situation.  Not something we expected from this President.

"David, Kindra and their neighbors have been there from Day 1. And still the onslaught continues. Every day, the oil comes in with the tide. It spreads up into the marsh grass, coating it. Then heated by the sun, it melts and drips back down into the marsh. At night, they still spray their toxic dispersants. No, things are not OK in Plaquemine's Parish. And they won't be for a very long time.

In this recent video, Kindra gives us the latest on public health (or the lack of it) in the Gulf. Kindra and her friends Joanie and Vicky of the Coastal Heritage Society of Louisiana are running ongoing fund drives for Gulf families. Imagine you're a Gulf fisherman and your entire livelihood is gone. Many of these families have had no income since April. Now, they're faced with having their electricity turned off, and making decisions as to whether they should be food or medicine for their kids."

This is one brave, strong woman. Please watch this video. It is 9 minutes long, but it needed to be to get all the information on tape.

Yes, it is that bad and not getting better.
And sadly, so it goes.
