King, Photographer Appleton/Green Bay | WI | USA | Posted: 11:47 PM on 07.12.10 ->> Thank you Coast Guard for doing the right thing, here. Big thank you to groups who worked to get this very flawed policy lifted... like NPPA's advocacy committee that sent letters to Obama and other politicians, and did lots of other outreach in this situation. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jqd1uPutKfd1Yd_sIk255fsIQ... http://nppa.org/news_and_events/news/2010/07/oil.html  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Anyone from the public should be allowed to photograph the booms media or not if they meet all the safety guidelines.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
