An Email I Recieved Again showin whos side Big Oil is on

Hi Scott,

It's been 18 years since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill and ExxonMobil still has not paid the punitive damages it owes to the victims of the spill.

The oil spill destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of Alaskan fishermen and others and decimated the wildlife.

Instead of paying what it owes, ExxonMobil has dragged more than 30,000 people through 13 years of litigation by appealing every guilty verdict it's been given since 1994! During this time 6,000 people have died waiting for compensation.

Click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser to tell ExxonMobil to pay the punitive damages it owes the victims of the Exxon Valdez spill. Justice delayed is justice denied.

ExxonMobil's behavior is shameful. That is why victims of the spill will gather on Saturday, March 24th in Cordova, Alaska to unveil a 7-foot tall wooden Exxon Ridicule Pole. The special totem pole is a native Alaskan tradition meant to force a person of high standing to pay a debt or obligation.

Please forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to join you in demanding justice for the victims of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Your support can help close this painful chapter in the lives of thousands of Alaskans - so they can start rebuilding their communities at last.
