Why? Florida legislators plus the U.S. Congress are being courted by big oil lobbyists anxious to open Florida's state and federal waters to oil rigs starting just 3 miles off our shores. Even with the most advanced technology, spills and accidents can and do happen. Our beaches, marine ecosystem and tourist based economy are all at risk!
And whether attending or not, please send a message to Governor Charlie Crist and President Barack Obama and demand NO DRILLING IN FLORIDA'S WATERS:
