Republican Congressman Don Young is feeling the full force of grassroots Democrats over his outrageous Sarah Palin-esque comment saying that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is “not an environmental disaster.”

Last week, we set a goal of having 50,000 people sign our petition denouncing Mr. Young’s outrageous comments protecting his Big Oil friends. Already, more than 62,000 activists have signed the petition and added their voice to the fight.

Let’s turn up the heat even more on these Big Oil protecting Republicans by helping us reach our newest goal of 75,000 signatures.

Add your name to our petition denouncing Congressman Don Young’s outrageous protection of Big Oil in the midst of this disaster.

Once you sign the petition, forward it to five of your friends and invite them to sign. We’ll send your comments directly to Congressman Young.

Congressman Young’s outrageous comments fly in the face of reality. With your help, we can hold him accountable.
