It is because the Employee Free Choice Act can answer the question that Kate Bronfenbrenner...

Resolved: The United States government should force BP to pay all reparations related to the deep water horizon oil spill. I'd like to request that the final round in this debate be used as a summary round instead of a rebuttal round. Thank you. I affirm the resolution for 2 main reasons.
