Robert --

For weeks, Republicans have been tripping over each other as they rush to defend BP. They've apologized to the oil giant, accused the President of a shakedown, and called for deregulation of the oil and gas industry. It's as if they've forgotten that they have a responsibility to the people of the Gulf who've seen their lives and livelihoods upended by this tragedy.

We've put together a site to help get the story out and show in a very pointed way exactly how Republicans are standing with BP. Will you check it out and share it with five friends?

While the site we've created is a parody, this isn't a laughing matter. We need to make sure voters know who was standing with BP throughout this crisis, and we need your help to do it. We've built the site to make it easy to share with friends, email to family, or post to Facebook and Twitter.

We want folks to know this wasn't just a gaffe or slip of the tongue -- this is how the Republicans would govern. Rep. Joe Barton apologized to BP and called the victim relief fund a "tragedy." Rep. Steve King agreed, and went on talk radio to say "I think Joe Barton was spot on." Rep. Michelle Bachman said that BP shouldn't agree to be "fleeced." Rand Paul -- the GOP nominee for Senate in Kentucky -- said that President Obama's efforts to hold BP accountable were "un-American." And Sharron Angle -- the Republican Senate nominee in Nevada -- even said her solution to the energy crisis was to "deregulate" big oil.

You might think that a company responsible for the worst environmental disaster in American history wouldn't have many friends in Washington. But for BP, that's just not the case.

We need to make sure that the American people know which side the GOP is on. Will you check out our new site and share it with five others?
