• Enough of your pollution that harms the health of people living near your refineries and plants on the Texas Gulf Coast ;
• Enough of your profiteering from the Iraq War, while people die, the wounded and displaced are neglected, and you engage our troops in your attempt to grab huge Iraqi oil reserves;
• Enough of your excess, windfall war profits while we pay outrageous prices for gas and watch economies around the world crumbling;
• Enough of the denial that burning petroleum products fuels global warming.
