This petition is intended to bring NATIONAL FEDERAL resources to aid the people of Louisiana, State / Local Governments, emergency managers, and National Guard during the ongoing (and currently escalating) sinkhole - salt dome situation in Bayou Corne, LA.
At the request of multiple attendees of the town hall meeting held on Thursday 9/20/2012, this petition is made due to LACK of redress by state-local government.
Better put, in their own words AT the meeting ; for the record , NONE of the local, state, federal, or emergency officials bothered to show up at the town hall meeting , even though their presence was requested by the residents of the area :

Summed up, LA residents want an immediate Federal response to this growing crisis.
