Tell Gov. McDonnell to Stop the Rush to Drill
The recent tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico should have been a wake up call for Governor McDonnell that oil and gas drilling is a dirty and dangerous business. Instead, he suggested that we don't stop flying after a plane crash.
Now, the Department of Defense has issued a report stating that 75 percent of the proposed drilling area off Virginia's coast would interfere with military operations. The governor responded by saying he was confident the two can co-exist.
Take action today and tell Governor McDonnell to stop threatening our environment and interfering with national security.
Stopping Oil Drilling Off Our Coasts
Supporting the 26 year-old moratorium on new offshore drilling, we helped block an
amendment that would have allowed
drilling for
natural gas as close as 50 miles off the coast of Virginia, off the
mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and off Assateague Island National
Seashore and wildlife areas.
