"Gulf Coast Recovery Act" Petition

No-Bid contracts for rebuilding the Gulf Coast ensure that a handful of corporations will make hundreds of millions of dollars. Now Congress wants to sweeten the deal by giving these corporations immunity from liability, allowing them to avoid being held accountable - even when they are grossly negligent.

In a fell swoop, the Gulf Coast Recovery Act (S. 1761) wipes out dozens of federal laws and regulations; the bill would eviscerate environmental regulations, leaving key provisions of many environmental protection statutes in shambles.

Under S. 1761, companies that contract with the government in the recovery zone could not be sued by individuals for violating the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA Asbestos Regulations, and many other federal environmental laws and regulations.

7. I think it is that they just keep piling up this bullhist on the American

public that so many are taking the road that in order to stop them, we have to find some way to oust them, but obviously it would much easier at this point to make calls, send letters and demand injustices such as this be stopped.
