Things BP has done:
hired private security firms to keep reporters/photographers from accessing public beaches
not provided proper protective gear for workers, and made those workers sign nondisclosure agreements as a condition of employment (after certainly ending the previous employment of some of those new workers via the spill)
had more serious safety violations than just about any other oil company in the world
probably ruined the Gulf for decades
Oh, I'm sure I could go on..
Maybe some of the rednecks seeing their livelihoods destroyed will realize that voting mindlessly for conservative Republicans like Barton isn't in their best interest.
