Make Waves for Oceans - Stop Off-Shore Oil Drilling
Target: United States House of RepresentativesSponsored by: Ocean Champions
For over two
decades, a federal moratorium on new offshore oil and gas drilling
has protected the beauty and ecology of our coasts. Now a group of politicians in Washington, led by Rep. Richard Pombo (R-Ca), is
attacking this moratorium.
Pombo, with support from oil conglomerations, has introduced legislation that would eliminate the federal moratorium on off-shore drilling, and open our coasts to resource exploitation. This bill would undo decades of protection for our sensitive ocean and coastal resources, and places thousands of miles of coastline at risk of catastrophic oil spills.
Offshore drilling is not a solution to America's energy problems, and will harm coastal economies more than it will help them.
Join Ocean Champions in fighting for permanent protection for our oceans - tell Congress you opposing off-shore drilling!

Mr. Pombo, just how many pockets are you in? You seem intent on destroying this planet by allowing animal life to die, oil to be drilled in Alaska and now in the off shore waters of the United States.

Offshore drilling is not in the best interests for our country -- its just a bad stopgap solution for our energy problems! Be smart, creative and resourceful - so many better ways to meet our energy needs. I oppose any increase in offshore drilling!!

It's only going to take one mistake and you have destroyed part of the Earth that will never recover, not in several lifetimes

The oceans and reefs are already dying. 90% of the great fishes are gone. Now you want to spew oil and equipment on the ocean's floor?! Just think for a minute.

We need to stop relying on oil and become an energy efficient country (and world) with renewal energy. We need to stop this insanity and wake-up!!

Haven't we caused enough damage to our marvelous shorelines and coastal waters? When will this avaricious-insanity stop?

I visited Texas after an oil spill. The beach was black and oozing. Please stop the off shore drilling.
