 oil in the Gulf magically disappeared? \n\nDid you know if the Valdez had 
 spilled off the coast of CA it would cover the Pacific Coast from 
 Washington to Mexico?\n \nCan you believe Exxon? BP?  The President? The 
 Supreme Court? Congress? The media? The military? \n\nIs there a pattern to 
 the assaults upon the people and landscapes of America?\nWhat are we going 
 to do about it? \n \nBlack Wave – The Legacy of Exxon Valdez is an 
 exquisite documentary chronicling the struggle of the people of Cordova, 
 Alaska, two decades after a drunk captain veered off-course and 11 million 
 gallons of crude poured into the ocean.  The stunning landscape and 
 heartbreaking tales are moving and instructive.  We are witnessing a 
 similar, but much larger tragedy unfold in the Gulf as BP uses a 
 near-identical litany of lip service, lies, litigation and disregard for 
 humans and environment in service to their bottom line.  The superficial, 
 inadequate, toxic clean-up of Prince William Sound and the lengthy legal 
 battle Cordova endured still falls laughably short of ‘making them 
 whole’ as promised and exposes the deep biases and injustices of a broken 
 system. Contrary to the rosy reports on tv, the people of the Gulf Coast 
 are starving and exhausted, the Corexit planes still fly, and fresh oil 
 rolls ashore every day. \n \n\nRiki Ott, PhD,  is a community activist, a 
 former commercial salmon "fisherm'am," and has a degree in marine 
 toxicology with a specialty in oil pollution. The author of Sound Truth and 
 Corporate Myth$: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill  and Not One 
 Drop: Promises, Betrayal, and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil 
 Spill, Dr. Ott is also the founder of three nonprofit organizations which 
 deal with lingering harm from man-made environmental disaster. She is one 
 of the heroines in the documentary,  she has also been fighting tirelessly 
 in the Gulf Coast.  By the end of this brainstorm February 10th, the Bay 
 Area should know the next steps to separating corporations from America’s 
 government, hopefully before they kill us all. \n\nSUPPORT THE 28TH 
 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR THE SEPARATION OF CORPORATION AND STATE! \n
