Hello everyone

This is Elizabeth, writing for Citizens Take Charge! & Gasoline Boycott Day - January 20, 2005

This story is MASSIVE news and there is not enough coverage of it...
We are in BIG trouble and we want our supporters to know that were here to help you get vocal about this atrocity on Jan.20, 2005. Join us. We need you, the world needs us... We can stand together and fight for alternative energy on Jan. 20.

Guys, let me ask you something... What are you prepared to do?
If you look at this picture, what do you see? Are you angry like us?



We feel that we are LONG overdue for a movement, wouldn't you agree?

We've GOT to educate and inform each other... We are all brothers and sisters... It's OUR country, it's OUR world, not the rich & powerful's. We've got to take it back before it gets out of hand. Do you and I connect on this level? Is your passion my passion? EVERY ONE of us should be asking, "What's going on?" This is why I founded my organization... To connect people who care, like you and me, with a common cause - protect and make better, the air, water and land we so desperately need. All we have to do is TRY. If we don't, we'll never know what kind of change is possible...



Let's get vocal about this guys... Our dependence on foreign oil must stop and we must force our government to pursue alternative energy...

We will be targeting Big Oil producers, President Bush and his friends, the Bin Ladens, on Jan. 20 to make it known THEY WILL be held ACCOUNTABLE for their messes that are killing us and our planet.

473,500 GALLONS STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR IN OIL SPILL, COAST GUARD SAYS

By ANTHONY DePALMA

Published: December 1, 2004

Coast Guard officials investigating an oil spill last week in the Delaware River said yesterday that more oil than previously reported has leaked from a damaged tanker, although they still do not know how much entered the river.

Chief Petty Officer Steve J. Carleton said that roughly 473,500 gallons of crude oil was still missing and unaccounted for - far more than the 30,000 gallons that officials had previously estimated to have escaped from the single-hull tanker Athos I as it tried to dock at a Citgo terminal in Paulsboro, N.J., Friday night.



But Officer Carleton said that while the spill was larger than estimated, it was unlikely that all 473,500 gallons had spilled into the river. Rather, he said most of it had probably been pumped from the damaged tank to one or more of the six remaining cargo tanks as the crew tried to keep the vessel balanced after the incident.

Investigators are still trying to figure out what ripped open the bottom of the tanker. Soundings of the river did not find any obstructions that could have caused the accident.

The heavy oil has coated wildlife in the area and created an expanding slick that now covers 45 miles from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge to the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

Environmentalists said that even a comparatively small spill would have a huge impact on the river, which provides drinking water to millions of people. "It's devastating, whatever final figure they come up with," said Maya K. van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper.
