Incumbent Congressman Roy Blunt is back at it again - this time asking taxpayers to support a $12.5 billion bailout for Big Oil. Just like he did for Wall Street, Congressman Blunt has let his corporate special interest friends make a mess and is asking Missourians to clean it up.

Fight back with us today and tell Congressman Blunt "No Bailout for Big Oil!" by signing this online petition:

1. If the reports from the men on the rig are true, this was no accident.
BP was warned that it needed to take certain measures on the rig and chose not to.

It knew that omitting certain steps could cause a serious problem. It knowingly took that risk. That's assuming the facts stated by the witness who spoke on 60 Minutes is accepted as the truth by a jury.

2. If that be true,
then perhaps there is criminal liability, which would get past the price cap as I understand it.
