Click here to urge your Senators to oppose efforts to open Florida's gulf coast to destructive drilling!

For more than two decades, most of America's splendid coastline has been off-limits to oil and gas drilling.

Unfortunately, anti-environment Senators and Representatives have recently introduced a flood of proposals to open our nation’s priceless coastline to oil and gas drilling, benefitting wealthy oil giants like ExxonMobil in the process.

Expansion of offshore drilling would put our beautiful beaches at risk and hurt marine wildlife including dolphins, sea otters, manatees, and sea turtles.

Drilling off our coasts is not the answer to America's energy problems! Destructive offshore drilling would only produce a few months' worth of fuel that won't even be available for another seven years. Meanwhile, government data shows that clean energy solutions like fuel efficiency and wind and solar power would cut down on energy usage and lower costs right away.

The Senate will vote on offshore drilling early this spring-- we need your help to stop it in its tracks. Please urge your Senators to oppose efforts to open Florida’s gulf coast and others to destructive drilling - click here to send your message now.

Offshore drilling produces huge amounts of mercury and other toxic pollution that could poison and even kill dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and other marine wildlife. And that's if everything goes well! The consequences of an accident would be far worse -- an oil spill could contaminate Florida’s beaches in as little as 24 hours.

We need your help to raise $15,000 by Earth Day, April 22nd to fund our coordinated grassroots outreach campaign in eight key coastal states whose Senators' may cast the deciding votes in the upcoming decision.

Click here to make a secure online donation of $25 or more to protect our coasts and marine wildlife by STOPPING the passage of offshore drilling legislation.

Celebrate Earth Day this year by forwarding this message to at least ten friends, family members and co-workers and ask them to join you in taking action to protect our coasts for future generations of wildlife and people, alike.

Thank you so much for your support.

Best,
