Alert: Oppose Offshore Oil Drilling  

Focus:Environment
Action Request:Write E-Mail

President Bush says the federal law prohibiting offshore oil drilling should be repealed. Opponents say there is not enough oil worth the risk and wouldn't be available for 5-10 years anyway. Tell President Bush and Congress you oppose ending the ban.
