Joseph,
We've had a huge response from Public Citizen supporters to our $300,000 Matching Gift Campaign. We're now just $52,907 short of the $300,000 goal!
Join our effort right now. Your immediate and generous support can help put us over the top. Contribute today and your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous Public Citizen supporter, doubling the impact of your gift.
In case you need any more motivation to give to our Matching Gift Campaign, you won't believe what the president of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers - an association which describes its "purpose" as "protecting the oil and gas industry" and making it "more profitable" - said about our campaign to hold BP executives accountable for the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history.
In a recent letter to the San Angelo Standard-Times, the president of the Alliance actually described Public Citizen as a "shark" and BP as our "victim."
He went on to say that it is "outrageous" that "environmental zealots" are calling for the criminal prosecution of "unsuspecting corporate executives." As if the executives who run a company that has paid more than $700 million for violating environmental and safety rules didn't have full notice of their reckless mismanagement!(And maybe B.P. forgot how G.M. created a campaign to destroy the Electric Trains in order to produce Oil and Gas burning Cars and Bussess? http://www.brasschecktv.com:80/page/549.html
I'm not surprised an executive of an industry lobby group is attacking us for standing up to corporate power. It's what he's paid to do.
You can be certain that Public Citizen will not back down in the face of these attacks. As long as you're standing with us, Public Citizen will continue to hold corporations that abuse their power accountable for their actions. That's what we do.
Contribute today and your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous Public Citizen supporter, doubling the impact of your gift.
Your activism and financial support is an inspiration to me and my staff. I hope I can continue to count on your support.
Please contribute what you can to our Matching Gift Campaign today.
Thank you.
Robert Weissman, President
