Mr President,

We the people demand that you ban the toxic dispersants now. When do the people who have to live with the aftermath of this toxic dump get a say in what gets put into our lungs and absorbed through out skin?  Stop this madness!
We also call on you to order in military action to bring coordination and order to the fragmented disaster of a clean up effort currently on the coast.
We cannot DELAY. The time for finger pointing and assessing fines will come. Our lives, our health and the lives of all the delicate sea creatures hang in the balance. Each day you delay more precious lives are lost. Please take this important action now!

Dear Mr. President,

Please ban all forms of Corexit from our land and waters, effective immediately. Restore some confidence in the American people by stepping up and asserting your authority, OUR authority over our country and federalize the clean up process, without one more moment of delay. Allow BP to fix the leak. YOU take control of the clean up. We have many great alternatives available, including Bioremediation, among others. Corexit is killing wildlife, something it does by rupturing red blood cells, causing internal bleeding and slow, painful deaths. How long before the first human death is attributed to Corexit exposure? We can not wait to find out. We can do better. We MUST do better. Please step up, be our leader and stop Corexit use now. We demand that safer, bioremediation products be used in this effort (http://bit.ly/cmsAND) to protect our ecosystem and allow our gulf to recover.

Alternate message, including message to grant press access to spill sites:

Dear Mr. President,

We the people are calling on you to step up, be our leader, and ban Corexit from all American soil and waters, effective immediately. We also call upon you to federalize the clean up process, use the available and much safer Bioremediation products (http://bit.ly/cmsAND), and open our water ways to the press in the interest of transparency, which should be inherent to a democratic society. Every moment you delay this decision marine life across the gulf are dying, our waters grow more toxic, our people grow more ill. You cannot put this off any longer. Stand up and lead us in the change you promised.
