Hello r peole listening to this man!!!!!!?? Please Pleas do. He is an hornalbe man to stand up to this.!

[h2opower]

WTF! Whats with all the empty sets in that place, where are all the representatives, they are talking to no one it seems, huh? Why doesn't our representation seem to give a shit rather these people live or die?

One thing this has shown us all is our representatives from top to bottom are run by big cooperations, and for those that can't read between the lines that means from the president on down of all of our voted representatives.

Yeah, and since this video was released there has been videos made of blue crab loaded with oil. Screw the EPA,FDA,BLM, and all the other Government agencies. They are a bunch of hand holding, money hungry, thieving, LIARS !!!

The one thing that worried me & he is eating it uggh. God help them. The told us the seafood was not being tested for toxins like the benzene ect. only for oil. You can not tell me it is ok to eat when they used the amounts of dispersant. You wont know till the tomorrows if they only test for oil that it was safe. People will get sick that is a guarantee.

I'm very glad to see this man there. He seems to know what he is talking about and tells it like it is. I support him. good luck guy!

I rarely use this term but "Oh My God!". Its that guy again. The one with the super thick accent in that hometown meeting telling it like it is.

Pulling up a seat, kicking back, and ready to enjoy this upload.
