Yeah, I'm not really sure on the efficacy of this one. BP has every incentive in the world already to take care of this, and the politicians do, too. A couple hundred folks from Portland really isn't going to make any difference.
It's not a 'couple hundred folks from Portland', it's worldwide; some of the cities include Berlin, Madrid, Johannesburg... This is real, let's do it people!
Um... the USA is playing against BP tomorrow. I mean England. Protest BP by cheering on the USMNT at 11:30 at your establishment of choice! A win by America is a victory over oil!
Hey how about we protest about the Bhopal disaster in India caused by an American company - that one has never been cleaned up, several thousand Indians died and the effects are still being felt, but was compensation paid???
The GOP just blocked (twice) a Oil Liability Bill that would've raised the cap on the amount BP has to pay.
Oregon Senator Merkley was there at the committee.
I saw it on C-Span.
