A Year Has Passed since the BP spill and no significant action has been taken to resolve the issues created. But it's been a lot longer since Katrina, and there's plenty left undone there, too. EDAF, The Environmental Defense Action Fund has created a thought provoking timeline for your viewing pleasure:

I am issuing a call here and on twitter for people to meet to create an activist progressive party to develop and promulgate a message of sane government, and to actively seek candidates for public office. SO many issues to deal with that, left unattended will result in disastrous consequence for the country at so many levels; issues of jobs, the future of employment, infrastructure decay, social issues of all kinds. You're kidding yourself if you think the current make up of congress is going to deal with it in a serious, for-the-country basis. They're too focused on their own ideological and personal futures issues, such as where they land their first lobbyist position after leaving public (dis)service.
Please send this around and let's see who can make a meeting in Knoxville, TN on June 5, this year.
