I received this e-mail and I couldn't believe it . Did Bush really do this? when he wqas on his wayt out did he rally just decided that the coiast lines didn'ty mean anything? Does he not feel the oneness? I guess not. So I reproduce this e-mail from the enviromental league of florida, urging us tohelp. I hope that everyone who reads this, does something, anything, to help!!!!!
What a way to say goodbye.
Just before leaving office, President Bush did his Big Oil buddies one last favor by setting in motion plans to open much of America's coastline to offshore oil drilling.
We know what that means for Florida: daily discharges of oily water, leaky pipelines, industrialized coasts and the potential for a catastrophic spill.
That's bad news for our spectacular beaches and those who depend upon them. The risks are certainly not worth the reward -- about a cent's worth of gas savings in 2025.
Send Secretary of Interior Salazar a message asking him to stop the rush to drill off Florida's coast.
Big Oil says their rigs, pipelines, tankers and refineries are safe, clean and environmentally friendly these days. But that's a big lie!
Every year, there are hundreds of oil spills. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused over 9 million gallons of oil to be spilled into the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. Just this past month, a burst pipeline near Louisiana created an oil slick the size of the city of Tampa.
We need the Obama administration to step in and put a stop to this.
Tell Secretary Salazar not to hand Florida's beaches over to Big Oil.
As always, thanks for your help.
