[GPCA Updates] Green Party ACTION ALERT - save the coasts

[Jim Stauffer]

             PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW!!!!!



A bill aimed at opening all of America's most sensitive
coastlines to offshore drilling will be voted on, up or
down, on the House Floor in only a week, on November 9.

Hastily approved by a party-line vote in the House Resources
Committee on October 26, the deceptively titled "Ocean State
Options Act" would immediately remove all of our existing
coastal protections by quickly rescinding the bipartisan
offshore drilling moratorium that has been renewed each year
for twenty-four years.

House Leadership has chosen to hide offshore drilling within
a broader budget bill that is immune from any amendments, so
your own Representatives must now vote against "final
passage" of what is called the "Budget Reconciliation
Package" to save our state's coastal waters.

We need you to help keep our coastlines safe from the
ugliness of offshore oil platforms and the potential of a
disastrous oil spill. 

Take action by November 8th!
