Back in May, the Senator had it right when he said, "with those resources, which would take years to develop, you would only postpone or temporarily relieve our dependency on fossil fuels,"
But this is the song he's signing now - "I believe it is time for the federal government to lift these restrictions and to put our own reserves to use."
The oil and gas companies have convinced both McCain, and a larger segment of the American people, that drilling these areas will somehow cure all our oil woes.
Send him a message right now, and ask him to abandon this policy

Sen. McCain,
I'm writing today because we both know that lifting the moratorium on new offshore oil drilling will do nothing to alleviate gas prices, and will only harm the environment and keep us addicted to oil.
Please abandon this policy.

SHAME ON YOU MCCAIN! ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE AROUND ON THIS EARTH IN 10-20 YEARS, MY CHILDREN "WILL" BE! DRILLING NEW AREAS WILL NOT CURE ALL OUR OIL WOES! LIFTING THE MORATORIUM ON NEW OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING WILL DO NOTHING TO ALLEVIATE GAS PRICES, AND WILL ONLY HARM THE ENVIRONMENT AND KEEP US ADDICTED TO OIL! IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO USE YOUR "YEARS" OF LEARNED KNOWLEDGE AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL MANKIND,PRESENT AND FUTURE. |

Wake up sir. The oil will never last as long as you want it to. Seek new technology for new energy and power sources. |
