Federal Appeals Panel Upholds District Judge's Order to block deep water oil drilling (what a surprise!)

Dear friends,

Another victory for the corporate elite. "Drill baby Drill!"! Sure, let's keep on drilling in the wake of the current "accident" so that another disaster will occur. It comes as no surprise that this panel of 3 judges upholds the District Judge',s order allowing the continuation of drilling. I wonder how much they are getting paid by these huge financial interests to uphold this order? What will our inept President and corrupt Congress do about this? Absolutely nothing is the answer. As long as we keep voting these evil, corrupt creatures into office, the blame is squarely upon us. But in actuality, we should know that even if we can elect even one honest, caring politician into office in the hope of changing the system, it will do no good. Look what happened to Cynthia Mckinney. She was one of the few who actually presented the truth and what happened? When it was time for her re-election, the Republicans put all their funds into her Democratic rival's campaign. They even had Republicans switch sides and vote in the democratic primary ensuring her loss (she was eventually re-elected but not before losing that particular election, due to a huge effort by many concerned residents of her district). It's so well known that if a new Congressperson or Senator is elected with the intent of change, they will be buried by the 'Good Ole Boys/Girls Club', not put on any meaningful committee in a power position and then lose their re-election bid. It's time to wake up folks. Join progressive groups, demonstrations, make your voice heard. Time is running out.
