BP stockholder and Republican congressional candidate, Steve Stivers, has yet to address the deaths and damage caused by the BP oil spill in the gulf. Stivers, who is also a former bank lobbyist, has probably decided not to address the issue because he doesn't want to seem anti- business. If you recall, Stivers has voiced his desires to eliminate certain departments in the federal government.

Page 3 4) Man-made global warming is a scientific fact and immediate action to lower CO2 emissions is necessary to prevent an environmental catastrophe.
With Stivers trying to eliminate various departments that safeguard the environment and his laissez-faire attitude about the massive oil disaster in the gulf, he appears to be against protecting our environment.
