Dear People’s Tribune,
Concerned citizens of Springfield, Massachusetts, are trying to help our people who have been affected by the British Petroleum (B.P.) oil spill in the Gulf. We would appreciate your help in trying to get our story out. The B.P. explosion took place in 2010, about five years ago. Since then we have been trying to sound the alarm about the contaminated water and food for the last six years to no avail. Many of our people are dying and getting sick from the toxins in the water, our animals are dying and much of our wild life have been destroyed. The beaches have been contaminated and we must warn our college students, before spring break, to stay clear of this water. Visitors and tourists should avoid swimming in the water at all cost. It’s a serious possibility one could be infected with a flesh eating virus. We think singer Donna Summers may have come in contact with some of the contaminated food, and water. Many have come down with this secret sickness, and are now dying from a chemical called Cortexit, which was used by B.P. This chemical is highly dangerous, and associated with many diseases, such as cancer, breathing, lung problems and many other illness. Little babies are born deformed, with double-breasts, circles under their eyes, and some, can’t walk or talk. I cannot stress enough that they need our help now! Thank you. — Marie Crenshaw, bessie@crenshawl.com/
