OZZY OSBOURNE, PEARL JAM, C.O.C., DOWN, Others Send Letter To OBAMA Urging Action On Gulf

November 19, 2010

According to Politics Daily, OZZY OSBOURNE, PEARL JAM, CORROSION AND CONFORMITY and DOWN are among the 90 artists who have banded together to urge President Obama to "do all you can" to help the Gulf Coast recover from this year's devastating oil spill.

Nearly 90 artists signed a letter sent to the White House this week that calls for several steps, including steering a large amount of the fines levied against BP toward environmental restoration.

"The BP disaster has taken a toll on the Gulf Coast, and real impacts will be felt by real people for years. The Gulf's people and places need lasting and continued support to get back on their feet," the letter states. "Fishing, recreation, seafood and tourism are cornerstones of the Gulf economy. These industries hang in the balance because of the disaster. Thousands of families' lives have been profoundly affected, with much of the damage having long-term consequences — physically, emotionally, and financially. Resources and support must be accessible to all those affected in order to make Gulf communities whole again."
