The government is worthless! People need to just start doing it themselves. All the farmers in the area that have extra hay and straw need to just start taking down to the docks and the fishermen start taking it out and sopping up the oil. Also all the marshes they are so worried about just start putting hay and straw in there and sopping up the oil.
Someone should set up a website and start recruiting people to ship thier hay down there and people with boats etc. to take out and soak up oil with it. At least if it washes up on the beach it will be easy to pick up just like sea weed.
If we want this cleaned up we the people are going to have to do it and by-pass the incompetent worthless government. If I lived anywhere near the area I would load up a pick up and trailer with hay and head for those marshes and just start doing it and maybe get some news outlets to cover it and start the ball rolling and hope it caught on.
Ok so anyone live near there want to get the ball rolling?

Pretty much any beach 15-20 miles from the Texas coastline is affected in some fashion. I'd suggest documenting the beaches nearest you first. Unfortunately, the media isn't being too helpful in showing the most affected areas outside of a few major city coastlines. What I'd really like to see is an up-to-date map of the spill...Anyone?

Believe it. There must be hundreds of people working behind the scenes to dig up dirt and scandal to rock B. Hussein O.'s world. He is only lucky. He can't stay lucky for long.
Still I can not believe the American public is dumb enough to elect him. He is the WORST choice ever. He is obviously there for one reason and one reason only.

I knew when I saw the coverage on TV that something was up. This tells me that if this was planned, then everything he said and the emotions he showed were nothing but lies.

I know many will find offence to this but its not time for beach clean-up anyway. Untill that well is capped any beach clean-up will just be wasted effort as more will wash ashore before you can walk away. The clean-up must go like this, first stop the leak,second clean-up the gulf and lastly clean-up the shoreline. Now every effort possible should be made to prevent oil from reaching the shore in the first place but in areas where this fight has been lost, well those areas are dead, and will be for some time.
