1. They want BP to hire the locals and pay them to work. This isn't a natural disaster needing
volunteers. BP should pay for the work.

Today he called up the OFA troops to help push for a Climate Bill in the Senate. That is what he needs OFA and Dems to do.

2. Almost 8,000 people have volunteered to help, and have not been contacted.
And, BP should pay.

4. I got an email at work that we could not volunteer to clean up oil-
but we could volunteer to clean beaches in advance of the oil to make it "easier" for the oil to be cleaned up. Since no one knows if/when BP's shit will hit and since seaweed and such washes in and out daily, this would be a thankless task.

3. I would consider it.
I think that a lot of people want to do more volunteerism and give money. There just needs to be an ask and people will do it.

5. No. I have a job. And I'd prefer to
watch Carville do it. Oh wait, he's not.
