State Rep. Rick Kriseman (D- St. Petersburg) and State Rep. Keith Fitzgerald (D – Sarasota) will announce plans and a call for action tomorrow in St. Petersburg. They have been fighting really hard to wake our state legislature up about the concerns of off-shore drilling.
Even with the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico staring us right in the face, it still hasn’t deterred the proponents of off-shore drilling on our coast. While most of us are preparing for what is about to reach our shores, others are preparing to open up our waters even more to the oil companies.
Is this what we want? After seeing how BP, using brand new technology, was ill prepared for this disaster, do we really want to invite them and others onto our shores? Do we really want to be the testing ground for the next generation of oil wells?
Show your support and head over to St. Pete Beach tomorrow morning. Have a moment with two people who have listened to our concerns and are willing to go to bat for us.
Location:
Tradewinds Island Grand Beach Resort
5500 Gulf Blvd.,
St. Pete Beach, FL 33706
Meeting right behind the hotel.
