Fishing boats are docked, seafood prices are skyrocketing and oil is still washing up on the shores throughout the Gulf. We may not know the full impact of the oil rig explosion, yet one thing is clear: the spill is BP's fault and they should pay for the harm they're causing.
The current law puts a $75 million cap on how much an oil company has to pay in the event of a disaster. Unfortunately, the fishing communities, restaurant owners, tourism industry and other individuals affected by theoil spill have already lost more. Don't let BP get away with it »
We must pass strong legislation that will lift this cap, and make BP and other multi-billion dollar polluters responsible for the damages their disasters have on our communities, environment and shared resources.
