Gulf of Mexico oil spill estimated at
between 21 million to 45 million gallons
Some Louisiana fishermen are being affected by the massive oil spill in the Gulf, including some hired by BP to help in the cleanup; and there are reported cases of debilitating headaches, burning eyes and nausea, and some industry and public officials are pointing the finger at chemical dispersants as the cause.
| Venice, Louisiana (CNN) — Kindra Arnesen’s husband often calls while he’s out on a shrimping trip, so she wasn’t surprised to hear her cell phone ring the night of April 29 while he was on an overnight fishing expedition. However, this time, her husband, David, wasn’t calling to tell her about the day’s catch or to wish their children Aleena and David Jr. a good night.

This has got to stop, folks, and the American people are the only ones who can stop it!
As the man says, “We report and you decide!” Have you had enough?
Christians need to pray for a change, and we need to take back our government.
