Saints Give-away Ring for Coastal Renewal

Headway finally with the Gulf Oil Spill.  Leave it to my New Orleans Saints to do more for the Gulf Coast in a day than BP, the EPA and Barrack Obama have done in two months.  I wish Drew Brees were President.  Check this out from NewOrleansSaints.com:

Raffle Ticket Information To Benefit Those Affected By Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Here is your chance at a piece of NFL History and to help out those must affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico!

An explosion occurred on April 20, 2010 aboard the Deepwater Horizon, an offshore oil rig 52 miles southwest of Venice, Louisiana. Seventeen people were injured in the blast, and tragically 11 workers perished out of the 126 people on board.


As oil has invaded the coasts of the Gulf South, thousands of families have been directly impacted by the oil spill and threaten the livelihoods of our neighbors in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.

This is your chance to help!
