ShameonBigOil.org
Posted at Common Ground United is a The Huffington Post post, "Big Oil Big on Profits, Small on American Values," that opens with "Sometimes I forget that the big oil companies are not really American companies. Sure, many of them are incorporated in the USA, but face it, these are multinational corporations, each bigger than many countries (economically, of course ... the 68 million acres they already have are only leased, not owned). So I really shouldn't be surprised that at a time when oil prices are so high and hard-working American families are trying to make ends meet, the big oil companies are sucking down some pretty obscene profits." The article then references Shame on Big Oil. From the site shameonbigoil.org:
"Big Oil is serious about one thing- they want to keep us addicted to gas. What we really need are solutions that help reduce our dependence on oil. This includes better mass transit, more fuel efficient cars, and more alternative energy sources, to name a few. It’s time for our elected leaders to say NO to Big Oil and say YES to real solutions that help consumers and protect our last open spaces."
