Tell EPA: Take away BP's billions in federal contracts

BP continues to stonewall the American people about the growing Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf, even while the company is reaping millions of dollars in profits a day from its other federal leases.

The White House, the Department of Interior, and Congress are all crying foul, but they are not taking action to hold BP accountable. If the Obama administration is serious about making BP pay, there is a very simple and powerful tool at its disposal: the EPA can take away BP's billions in federal contracts.

The Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to bar BP from receiving U.S. government contracts. Suspension of BP contracts would mean the loss of billions of dollars and effectively stop the company from drilling in federally controlled oil fields both on and offshore.

limit their ability to pay damages. You can't have it both ways.

Is it that BP a vendor that provides the gov't, say DoD, with fuel?
Or is it that BP is a leaseholder on various parcels owned by the Feds in which it drills for, or from which it extracts, oil?
