Tar Sands video: Hey BP, leave those sands alone! video on YouTube which I might at some point do a transcript of - it'd take a lot of pausing and typing, but it's one of the few things where I can make out most of the words (not at the same time as reading the words on the screen, which are like footnotes/documentation/further commentary; which is why I think it particularly needs a transcript).

No Tar Sands campaign site
