YOUNG VOICES

Support Our Oil Companies!
by Tamika Thompson


 

Social justice organization Code Pink joined forces with several organizations (Courage to Resist, Global Exchange, Oil Change International, Rainforest Action Network and the Ronald Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane) to call for the end to the Iraq war and to "celebrate" all of the money that the U.S. oil companies make.

The satirical action, which the groups staged outside the Texas delegation's hotel in downtown St. Paul, MN, asked Americans to support the big oil companies, the Bush Administration, presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin.
