Friday's Drift River Terminal Disaster Declaration Petition - Redoubt-related

[Blue_In_AK]

From Phil at Progressive Alaska http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/03/fridays-drift-river-terminal-disaster.html

On Friday, Trustees for Alaska filed a petition requesting the governor declare that a disaster is threatened by the continuing presence of six million gallons of oil in the Drift River storage facility at the bottom of erupting Mt. Redoubt. The terminal is situated in the flood plain of a river that has now flooded twice in just a few days.

I've created a jpeg set of the three-page petition:

Not that Sarah cares about erupting volcanoes and potential disastrous oil spills - but it's worth a try.

1. I am sure she is praying about it right now.

If she can find anyone to hold hands with.

2. That's about right.

She seems to be taking the tack lately of doing exactly the opposite of what most people in the state want her to do. One of the protestors down in Juneau last week who was protesting her rejection of stimulus funds carried a sign that had a drawing of Sarah with the bubble coming out of mouth "@#$% you, Alaska." It's pretty sad.
