I'm speaking of the EPA and the liberal Hollywood elite. If the oil spill had happened on G W Bush's watch, every star in Hollywood and every environmental group from here to Timbuktu would be screaming for his head on a silver platter! And yet The Chosen One, all while sitting on his butt sucking down Bushwhackers and sno-cones, gets a free pass from these groups. And if this were impacting some third-world country like it is our own Gulf Coast, every celebrity would be jumping on the bandwagon, trying to guilt us into donating to some "relief" fund, yet they are silent. So much so that even a 9-year-old is questioning it. The following letter to the editor appeared in Friday's Independent newspaper. Amazing isn't it?

Helping our own

Hi. My name is Amber; I am 9 years old. My concern is that we are so quick to help other countries that have disasters; movie stars, millionaires and other people send money to other countries like Haiti.
Now don't get me wrong, I think it's great we help countries in need, but this oil spill is destroying our beaches and hurting wildlife and no one is doing anything to help. There are no TV commercials asking for donations, no famous movie stars are sending millions to help.
What can I do to get Americans interested in helping our own country?
