This week, the Florida Legislature is being called into a special session to consider a ballot measure to permanently ban drilling in Florida waters. A ballot measure will allow the people to decide whether or not the state should engage in nearshore oil and gas exploration.
Please take the time to contact your local Senator and Representative and share your feelings on nearshore drilling. For Tallahassee residents and those willing to travel, 14 groups have gathered to organize a rally “Hands at the Capitol” and lobby day on Tuesday, July 20. You can learn more here.
Let’s get this issue on the ballot, and let the people decide!
