Dear Friend:
Thank you for writing to me about the BP oil
spill. I will stand with the people of the
Gulf Coast until they are made whole,
and I appreciate your perspective as we
continue to do everything we can to
address this crisis.
The Gulf is one of the richest and most
beautiful ecosystems on the planet. For
centuries, its residents have enjoyed
and made a living off the fish that swim
in its waters and the wildlife that inhabit
its shores. The Gulf is also the heartbeat
of the region's economic life, and this oil
spill has upended whole communities.
My Administration will continue to
leverage every resource at our disposal
to protect coastlines, to clean up the oil
, to hold BP and other companies
accountable for damages, to begin
to restore the bounty and beauty of
this region, and to aid the hardworking
people of the Gulf as they rebuild their
businesses and communities. For
information about response efforts,
available assistance, or how to help,
please visit:

Individuals affected by the BP oil spill
can also find resources by calling the
United States Coast Guard at
1-800-280-7118, and small businesses
can find support by calling 1-800-659-2955.
Thank you again for contacting me. I
encourage you to visit WhiteHouse.gov
to learn more about my Administration
or to contact me in the future.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
