The Gulf of Mexico: A Dark Disaster



The Votevets Organization was founded January 2006 by Jon Soltz and Jeremy Broussard, two Iraq war veterans whose goals were to provide necessary instruments for soldiers warring abroad against terrorism.

However, after the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, American soldiers were sent to clean and improve the worsening conditions. Votevets, then, began to support the bettering of the shore. In the commercial, it is evidently necessary to vote for the right senators that will impact America's natural conditions.

The Votevets' goal is to improve living conditions in the Gulf of Mexico and to get rid of all foreign oil that is affecting not only American shores, but the entire world. It is time for a change, and soldiers need the citizens' support to make the world a better place. Most soldiers that enlist in the army are sent to fight, to bring peace to Americans. But after the oil spill occurred, instead of fighting the war against terrorism, they were sent to clean the oil spill.

In my opinion, I agree with cleaning the oil spill because, not only is it harming us as humans, but it is also harming animals that are living in the Gulf. All the spilled oil hurts nature to the extent that animals, such as ducks, fish, and seagulls, are dying.

This advertisement displays the importance of improving natural conditions in the United States. Showing how "our dependence in oil is threatening our national security"and how the "clean American energy plan, will only cut our dependents of oil in half" is a way the audience can realize the calamity of this situation.

This ad is effective in the way that it also gives a sentimental side to humans. It is our responsibility as members of this society to look after what happening around the world. We can not just ignore the news, we have to put our effort into wanting a better environment.
