Now the Federal Government is Shutting Down Sand Berm Dredging in Gulf

This is unbelievable. Every time the Gulf states try something to keep the oil from their shores, the federal government shuts them down.

6WDSU.com: The federal government is shutting down the dredging that was being done to create protective sand berms in the Gulf of Mexico.

The berms are meant to protect the Louisiana coastline from oil. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department has concerns about where the dredging is being done.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, who was one of the most vocal advocates of the dredging plan, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, pleading for the work to continue.

Nungesser said the government has asked crews to move the dredging site two more miles farther off the coastline.

Nungesser said that it will take a week to move the dredging sites. A lot more oil can wash up in that time. No word on whether Obama took the time to reply to the letter.

    Not surprised by a regime that wants to ruin America and all it stands for by any means possible. He doesn’t want this oil spill’s damage tempered in any way. He wants Americans to be thoroughly instilled with fear of risk of any type and we all know that risk=Capitalism. This is but one opportunity to seize upon to propose the usual trade of liberties for phantom security, as in taxation to empower government for the greater good. Statists are so predictable.

    We have so many talking points that we are becoming incoherent. There ought to be ONE FILE of items like this – just evidence that what they say means NOTHING and is the opposite of what they DO. Just add each item to the end of the file and soon we will have a Bill of Particulars for IMPEACHMENT.
