Done - this "drill, baby, drill" concept is still being pushed by the republicans and trying to be tacked on to the Climate Bill...

Wish they would go and play with their drill bits elsewhere and leave these special places for the animals and the public to enjoy

How much more can our World take ! Spilled oil in our Oceans causes so many issues. Like Acid Rain among other things, birds and sea life being hurt.

Signed, for all the good it will most likely not do, between the spineless Democrats and the closet Repugnicans, aka Blue Dogs, aka paid corporate toilet paper, and a President so intent on chasing the Will-O'-the-Wisp of bipartisanship to the point of selling the farm to keep one damn cow. And all of this just to give more tax dollars to the Oil/Gas conglomerates fto endanger the environment for a resource that will take 10-15 years of tax breakes and subsudies to produce enough to drop the cost of oil/gas by as much as 1-2 CENTS per barrel on the open market, assuming the oil companies are not given more tax payer money to cap and keep the oil/gas where it is, just as they are already being paid to do with so many production wells in the US already!

As said above... the Democrats are spineless! Our politicians should have principles and stand up for important causes. I know that sometimes they must compromise but not when that compromise compromises our oceans... It's time to say no....

Saying they are spineless is excusing corruption just as much as when people excused GWB's acts by calling them stupid instead of ruthless and vindictive.
The best quip I saw on 'democratic' election systems was 'Two Party Tyranny'.
Unreasonable ? Think about it. Don't you realize the rich and corporations have the loot to buy the votes of both sides ?
It's a good investment. They can steal it back from the taxpayer several times over !
