Gulf Shrimper Arrested for Pouring Oil on Herself in Senate Energy Hearing

Customize your message

Have you heard the news?

Diane Wilson, a fourth generation shrimper from the Gulf, poured oil on herself at today’s Senate Energy Committee hearing to protest  Senator Lisa Murkowski's refusal to make BP pay for the disaster that has devastating Wilson's shrimping community.  Republican Lisa Murkowski, ranking member of the Senate Energy Committee, blocked the bill that would have lifted the oil companies' liability cap (the Big Oil Bailout Prevention Act). Wilson was removed from the hearing and arrested.

It's appalling how BP CEO Tony Hayward is walking around freely after pouring millions of gallons of oil in our seas while a Gulf of Mexico shrimper is jailed for simply pouring oil on herself.

I have called Senator Murkowski to give her a piece of my mind. If you can, please call her DC office at (202)-224-6665 and give her hell. Here's a sample call-in script:

"Hi, my name is _______ and I am from _______. Senator Lisa Murkowski stopped the Big Oil Bailout Prevention Act and wants to keep the liability cap at a pitiful $75 million. This is outrageous. How dare she side with big oil over the American people who have been so devastated by this manmade disaster? I strongly urge the Senator to stand with the American people against big oil intersts like BP. Thank you."

If you can, also join me in protesting BP for the National Day of Action on June 19. See this link to sign up: http://j.mp/BPDOA

CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities.

While Bush's color-coded alerts were based on fear and used to justify violence, the CODEPINK Alert is a feisty call for women and men to "wage peace." More...
