U.S. House of Representatives Interior and Environment Appropriations bill vote = time to once again argue for opening the California coast to more offshore oil drilling. Within minutes, we received alerts from en****@su*******.org">Surfrider and ac****@sa****************.org">SaveOurEnvironment.org of this:
In the next few days, the House of Representatives will decide whether or not to expose our beautiful coasts and marine wildlife to the perils of offshore drilling when they vote on the Interior and Environment Appropriations bill.
Both clean-water advocacy groups want for you to contact your congressman (even the one who puts Surfin' in front of his name) and tell 'em to keep their corrupt hands off our coast.
