One way we can put pressure on Tri-Cities politicians to take action on oil trains is to write letters to the editor. Environmental Action has provided us with a tool to help you write to one of our local papers. Click here, enter your zipcode, and pick a paper. Environmental Action will provide you with some talking points.
If enough of us keep speaking out in the popular media, politicians - local to the President - will see that they can't ignore this problem any longer. They will also see that we won't be satisfied with some promises about better brakes or thicker train cars. Big Oil has been promising to improve safety for years, but the problem is that there's just no safe way to ship these explosive extreme oil products.
