This comment from Jonathan came into the Center's email box: Just wanted Lisa to know that after sleeping in the Capitol Sunday night, I was stunned to see the AP story Monday at noon state that the numbers in the Capitol had dropped and that "about three dozen" activists had slept in the Capitol overnight. I called the AP office to ask them what in the world was going on and they were so quick to acknowledge error that I really can't imagine what they were thinking or who was "reporting." They agreed to revise the number to the specific Sunday night count from my people of 400. And, now I get 670 GOOGLE hits for articles that ran the AP piece with these words: "Neither side budging in Wisconsin union fight | rgj.com | The Reno ... Feb 21, 2011 ... MADISON, Wis. (AP) — To end a high-stakes stalemate over union rights ... Protesters who crowded inside the Capitol for a sixth day Sunday had a similar message. ... A few dozen protesters spent the night inside the Capitol again ... Associated Press writer Scott Bauer in Madison and Dinesh Ramde in ..." Please call the AP and demand that the publish a correction to the historical record

I may be overstepping my bounds here, but after reading this article (<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/24/oil-tax-increase-by-congr_n_587821.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/24/oil-tax-increase-by-</a><a href="http://www.neverfailgroup.com/neverfail-v6/business-continuity.html">business continuity</a> ) I can't help but wonder what the true motivation behind this oil disaster was. The reaction time of BP was appalling and their completely lack of concern raised more than a few red flags. Yes, they did 'the best they could' to get the spill under control but making sure their pipelines are quality in the first place could have saved billions. Just my two cents.
