Everyday, you're painfully reminded--by the images on television, in the newspaper and on the internet--of the disaster BP has caused in the Gulf.
But what you might not know about is BP's reckless endangerment of the health of its clean-up workers. The oil in the Gulf of Mexico is toxic and BP is not providing the 30,000 clean-up workers with respirators or other safety gear essential to cleaning it up.
BP clean-up workers are already being hospitalized due to nausea, headaches and chest pains caused by the toxic fumes that they breathe in everyday on the job. Yet BP cares more about the negative impact on its public image if clean-up crews wear masks than BP cares about safety. And BP continues to cut every corner possible to protect its bottom line. It's irresponsible and unacceptable.

9/11 clean-up crews worked without protective gear and they are still suffering for it. We can't let that happen again. That's why we've joined with our friends at the PCCC in calling on President Obama to demand BP provide protective gear to each and every clean-up worker -- and we're not the only ones standing up.
Already, over 60,000 Americans have added their names. RFK Jr. and more than 50 elected leaders and candidates for office have joined the campaign. And the media, including the New York Times, have been covering every step of the campaign so far. That's why we need you to sign on today to keep the momentum building and the pressure on until BP does the right thing -- or President Obama makes BP do it.
Now there are reports that BP is threatening to fire any worker who actually uses protective gear. Why? Because BP thinks it's an admission of liability and it'd be responsible for even more clean-up costs. BP is already responsible for the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history, but instead of learning from its mistakes it's making all new ones. It's wrong and it has to stop.
Tens of thousands of DFA members joined us in Boycotting BP, so join us again us today in calling on President Obama to demand BP provides protective gear to all clean-up workers. We'll make sure that the White House, Congress and every candidate for office knows where you stand.

Thank you for everything you do,
