Via: Phil Compton of Sierra Club, St. Petersburg, FL Chapter:
Big Oil is pressuring our Florida legislators and the U.S. Senate to open Florida’s state and federal waters to oil rigs just 3 miles off our shores.
Even with the most advanced technology, spills and accidents can and do happen. With Florida now poised to build America’s 1st high speed train, there’s NO reason to put our beaches, marine ecosystem, $62 billion tourism economy and way of life at risk!
Here are the details:
WHO: You, your friends, and family along with 1,000s of other Floridians across the state.
WHAT: Folks from across our state will gather at their local beach to join hands forming lines in the sand against oil drilling in our coastal waters. Wherever you are, you can join hands around the state to protect Florida’s coastline.
WHEN: Saturday, February 13, 1:00 pm EST/12:00 pm CST
WHERE: Dozens of beaches all over the state, both the Gulf & Atlantic Coasts. Click here for all the locations.
RSVP: http://action.sierraclub.org/HandsAcrosstheSand We’ll send a free “Don’t Drill Our Coasts” bumper sticker to everyone that RSVPs.
QUESTIONS: Phil Compton, phil.compton@sierraclub.org
I cannot be there, but I would be. This is always a tough fight. I know from the California experience with drilling offshore.
The key is to protest. But, the bigger key is to organize and network. Get local political folks involved. Think national, act local. Get that very promising Democratic candidate for governor, the Iranian-born guy promoting the great idea of a Florida State Bank, to make an appearance. I wish I could remember his name. Sorry, for being a dunce.
