Savage to Obama: STEP UP!!
Please see video below from Merle Savage, former General Foreman during Exxon Valdez oil spill clean up. Savage continues to suffer with debilitating health issues as a result of her exposure to the toxic chemicals in oil as well as those in the neurotoxic dispersant Corexit, the same dispersant BP is dumping in unprecedented amounts in the Gulf of Mexico.
Savage also calls on President Obama to step up, demand worker safety be taken seriously, and all exposed to these toxic chemicals be provided respirators and full body protection. Please watch, and share with everyone you know. This message MUST be delivered to ALL GULF COAST RESIDENTS!! Also advocating this message is Exxon Valdez survivor and marine toxicologist Dr. Riki Ott.

Dr. Riki Ott, along with many others are saying people in certain areas along the Gulf Coast need to evacuate immediately. The reason? The chemical dispersant Corexit, mixed with the already toxic South Louisiana Crude, is making people sick. These aren’t temporary illnesses that will go away and leave no impact. According to EPA’s Hugh

EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson (who should have been fired already) tweeted a link to USA Today’s “article” on the EPA dispersant “studies”. Essentially, USA Today published a carefully worded press release on behalf of the EPA, making it look as though it is reporting real news. Please take note: this is little more than
EPA Cover Up? Say It Ain’t So!

Anyone who follows CTGN knows that I routinely call EPA out for obvious and blatant disregard for actual human health and safety. The “P” in EPA likely refers to protecting themselves against liability, by lying and covering up what they actually know, and has little or nothing to do with protecting the environment, let alone

WKRG in Mobile, AL did their own independent water sampling along Gulf Shores and Orange Beach areas. You have to watch the video below to believe what they found and what happened to one of their samples (complete summary follows).

People with respiratory and other symptoms that they suspect are a result of chemical exposure need to have a Volatile Solvents Profile. Please write this down and take the information to your doctor’s office with you. Physicians can order the kits from Metametrix (www.metametrix.com). The lab will send the doctor a kit – the doctor

In the video below Andy Nyman, Associate Professor at LSU, highlights a prior study done on Corexit 9500 and 9527, the two varieties of Nalco dispersant being used by BP in the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe. Nyman’s study shows these two forms of Corexit cut the marine life survival rate in half over South

“It’s more efficient to change your politician than to change your light bulb.” Fantastic insights and a call to action here from Robert F.

I can corroborate the activity at the location noted in this video from James C Fox. My entire life I have driven the “back roads” of Baldwin County to the beach. I know County Roads 65 and 12 like the back of my hand. When I was home a few weeks ago I drove that

We all feel reassured when we hear that NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service is doing comprehensive testing on the seafood that is being sold from the open waters in the Gulf of Mexico. We trust NOAA to place our health first, right? Sadly, like so many things in the wake of this oil spill, we’re
