Sorry I didn't know where else to post this, so please move or remove it if it is inappropriate. I think the issue has a bearing on all of us that regularly use our coast.
The US House Representative for most of us in Pinellas (Rep Bill Young) will once again be voting tomorrow on whether to lift the moratorium on drilling off of Florida's coastline for oil. A subcommittee narrowly upheld the moratorium last week but this week the full committee will vote on it. Rep Young has consistently voted for the moratorium (and against drilling).
You can contact him at the following phone # to express your opinion, if interested. If you choose to do so, please do so today as the vote is tomorrow.
Rep Bill Young:
