Sign The Gulf Oil Spill Statement From CWN |
|
"Last week the Clean Water Network Board of Directors released an important public position statement on the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. "We are collecting sign-ons from CWN groups in support of the position statement to help generate action and support for groups working on the ground. The goal is to send this statement out to decision makers both here in Washington DC and in the field with a lengthy list of supporting organizations.
"The Network's statement outlines the following crucial issues:
* Hold BP and Transocean, and other responsible parties, fully accountable;
* Revise the federal regulatory process;
* Remove the liability cap on oil companies
* Increase resources, training and support for communities and non-profit organizations;
* Establish an immediate moratorium on new offshore drilling operations nationwide to protect coastal waters from pollution associated with oil and gas development; and
* Rapidly transition our country away from its dependence on fossil fuels and towards the efficient use of environmentally-sound renewable energy.
