Following the wake of the United State\'s most costly natural disaster-Hurricane Katrina, we are asking oil companies operating and selling oil in the United States to make a voluntary short term deferment of some/all of their profits to aid the economic recovery of the region and to help prevent an economic downturn in the entire country. We are appealing to: Amoco Oil Company, Shell Oil,Conoco,Burlington Resources Inc., Exxon Mobil,British Petroleum,Unocal,Harkin Oil et al... to be pro-active in providing this economic relief and voluntarily suspend profits until a recovery is underway.
The scale of this response now allows me to initiate formal outreach to the executive offices of these corporations. I am currently drafting a letter of inquiry to request a timeline for their participation in the requested profit deferment.

Greed is unbelievable. So many families lost homes and livelihoods and these corps just keep counting their money.

These guys are raking in billions while everyone else is drowning. Give back some of that cash to the people who actually need it.

it is unconscionable to see record profits right now. do the right thing for once and help the victims rebuild.
