My name is Samantha Sanchez and I am a Congress member. As part of Obama's Administration I feel in between because I don't feel comfortable announcing my decision. I wouldn’t want to be against any side, but I know I should do what I think is best for the nation. I haven’t only heard about this disaster, but I decided to experience this oil spill catastrophe for a short period of time in order to come up with a better solution to bring up for our next congressional meeting.
My family and I are currently visiting my husband’s family members in the Gulf of Mexico and I find their situation very devastating. My father in law has been struggling to support his family because their sea food restaurant along the shore went out of business due to sea food shortage. Their restaurant went out of business because not only were there less fish, but the fish caught may have been contaminated without them knowing. My husband’s family didn’t want to keep risking feeding people contaminated fish. When my husband’s mother told me their depressing story, I thought she was exaggerating things and that they had given up too easily, but my family and I went to the beach and saw exactly what she was talking about. I was shocked to see
so many intoxicated sea animals along the shore that will eventually die, just like the others did. I sent my children back home while I reflected on this situation because I didn’t like the environment for them. It was not a nice and appropriate place to have a picnic, play around, and take a swim. The whole environment was contaminated!!! Time here in the Gulf of Mexico hasn’t been pleasant to my family and me. We are scared of purchasing food or going out of home because the whole environment smells like oil and we are afraid of purchasing contaminated food. We want to leave already, but we would also like to help the family here because the restaurant they had was their only source of income. The whole family in that household is having problems with each other because they are so depressed that they blame each other for what happened. This home has become a chaotic and unhealthy environment for everyone. As I think and think, I haven’t come up with any solutions to this destructive problem. I don’t even know where to start my plan because as I come up with any ideas, I realize that they all have their pros and cons which will affect many people. Now I understand everyone’s position; the business owners, the tourists, and President Obama’s position. I would not like to be in any position because business owners are struggling to maintain their selves stable, tourists are not having good vacations, and Obama is having a hard time coming up with a good plan.
I highly disagree with Obama’s plan to deal with the current Oil Spills in the Gulf of Mexico because I believe that this idea will bring extensive negative political, environmental, and economic effects rather than positive impacts. I still think he is a great person that has earned his position and can’t be compared to Bush. Unlike Bush Barrack has made promises that he is willing to keep, he is willing to help in every area, and is getting there little by little. I have the confidence that he has the ability of fixing this problem. I don’t want to pressure him because I know that one person alone can’t fix the long-lasting problems the nation has encountered over the years, from one day to the other, but I think he can do it with everyone’s help. I am willing to support him and work with him if he rethinks his plan.

I don’t think this opening vast stretches of the U.S coastline to oil and gas will help Obama gain others people’s support. This is an insane plan that will bring negative criticism against Obama. I feel like people will feel very disappointed at him and will regret voting for him. I assume people will think that he is thinking more about the economy instead of prioritizing the environment and the living organisms in it. Yes, we will get more oil and get the oil off the ocean, but the environment will be highly affected. By digging holes, we might be destroying wildlife’s habitats without even knowing it. We may also cause drastic changes in their lives such as exposing them to the oil we extract from the ground. Wildlife can be covered with oil or even drink the oil causing them health troubles such as kidney and liver problems. Commercial fishing and tourism along the Gulf of Mexico will continue to be affected.
Personally, I think Obama and we, the Congress have been responding appropriately, but I think that we need to work harder to come up with other ways, other solutions to work faster and cause a major impact amongst the nation because time is running very quickly and there hasn’t been much solved.
