BP created a set of financial rules to determine how businesses in certain Gulf Coast States would be compensated after the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Now BP wants to change those rules in the middle of the game, taking billions away from deserving small business owners who were devastated by BP's spill and relied in good faith on the company's word.
On June 26, 2010 President Obama released a statement saying in part that "the people of the Gulf have my commitment that BP will meet its obligations to them. BP has publicly pledged to make good on the claims that it owes to the people in the Gulf."
We petition the Obama Administration to ensure that, four years later, BP follows through with its contractual obligations under the Settlement Agreement it authored and executed.
