You Can Be the One

You may have already seen this incredibly powerful 90 second video by now.  It seems to be circulating through the wide wide world of web from twitter to facbook to email.  But have you shared your voice yet?  Have you added your name to the list of thousands who have spoken up for the restoration of the Gulf?  If you haven't, and would like to, please click on this link and tell the world you will be the one... http://www.restorethegulf.com/


Go ahead, share your voice

And Be the One for our Generation and the One after That

Be the One for the Sandcastles

Be the One for Raw Oysters

Be the One for the Fisherman and Shrimpers

Be the One for Long Days at the Beach

And Be the One for the Sea Turtles

For the Gulf and the people and animals living along it's shores, for the men and women whose livelihoods are bound to those waters, for the fragile coast that shelters us from the storm...  we will be the one!

    I am so glad celebs are getting involved. After the HUGE response to Haiti I was a little disappointed more are not getting involved...

    How poignant and how true and fitting for such a devastating occasion such as this.
    I am on my way to sign it now.
    Thank you for reminding us all it is certainly by no means over.
    Have a lovely weekend.

    I think it should be more than a 50-state issue...its an international issue. We all need to care about each other...
