"So where are all the 'Save the Gulf' concerts?"

Posted by nubby Jun 8 '10, 17:48

So where are all the "Save the Gulf" concerts? Where are the TV benefits with
celebrities and musicians giving heart felt speeches on the poor
fishermen, wildlife, beaches, loss of income and sabotaged gulf
economy? I find it strange how this country is so quick to help Haiti
and other countries, but yet does nothing then something happens on our
own home land. Just the facts.

        well, there are already mechanisms in place for American taxpayers to compensate them, as well. - loosilu Jun 8, 18:03
