Everyone remembers the gulf oil spill. That was the most disaterous thing that happened in world history. Look what happened to the cities around Texas and other states around it It killed and destroy allot of sea wild life. So one guy is saying we get out sea food from over seas That means he gives a green light to kill all of our loving sea creatures. If I were a tourist from up north and another Deep Horizon happened who would ever want to come to Florida and see nothing but dead things that the oil spill created. Look at the people who love to fish in the Gulf well another deep horizon there wont be any fish to catch They will all be floating on top of the sea water dead.Some people may say another Deep Horizon will never happen again. That’s what said before Deep Horizon. Any one who votes yes to put the Rigs in is gambling the future of Florida of become a wastless no mans land and any who votes for it should have his head examined

There is no shortage of oil and we are not forced to buy from the ME. We do so for several reasons. We have agreements with SArabia going back to before WWII to buy their oil at a certain price. The US, simultaneously, buys and exports oil. It is all a very old con game and the old adage “Don’t caca where you eat” should be applied here. If you want an oilfield job go get one but don’t decide the fate of our Gulf over your greed.

Drill baby drill and when we become totally oil independent the middle East can eat their oil. Then we will not be subsidising terrorism by driving our cars.

I hope and pray that the oil companies will never be able to ruin our beaches the way they ruined the beaches in Louisiana. Believe it or not, in the sixties, Louisiana’s beaches were beautiful.

After 70 years of hundreds of offshore platforms and rigs off Louisiana’s coast, the fishing is great, exactly due to the existence of these structures. But no, lets suppress drilling in our own country and keep sending our dollars to terrorist regimes that finance terrorism and suppress human rights to buy a product we can produce ourselves.

Most of the seafood we buy and eat come from over seas anyway…. so I say drill away if that means gas prices go down and stay down… more good jobs too! Besides La, Miss, Al already have them and the fishing around them is great!!!

Once they destroy the fish life in the Gulf of Mexico…a food source will be destroyed…they DON’T care….they could care less is the “lesser” of us have food….they forget where their food comes from and maybe they should think about it…there options to power homes,cars etc that don’t request cool,oil…all efforts to destroy our country is driven by greed….the wealthy can’t get enough $$$$….time to stop them…

If every child was homeschooled……we all worked from home…..we got everything
we needed sent to us from Amazon etc. by delivery. Then Floridians
( 21 million of us ) would hardly need any gas. Then we certainly wouldn’t need
No offshore drilling . Our politicians seem to have what I call “the MEME’s” and
“the POOR ME’s”. They want someone else to do The dirty work….then cry
when it ain’t exactly how THEY wanted it.
