Riki Ott was on Your Call in February with Robin Young, co-founder of Guardians of the Gulf in Orange Beach, Alabama, and Dr. Rodney Soto, physician in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida: http://yourcallradio.blogspot.com/2011/02/why-are-so-many-people-in-gulf-regi...

In 1989, Ott, a marine toxicologist who lives in Cordova, Alaska, experienced firsthand the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdex oil disaster.

Over the past year, she's been traveling back and forth between Louisiana and Florida to gather information about what's really happening in the Gulf and share the lessons she learned about long-term illnesses and deaths of clean-up workers and residents.

but we cannot ignore the truth.

BP screwed America.

2. And apparently got new contracts for more drilling

I don't know how any of the Gulf Coasters bear the destruction of their beautiful coast. It is beyond comprehension.

4. How long before the next huge disaster??

This time off the Atlantic or in the arctic. Off shore drilling is a time bomb...
