Oil drilling off Atlantic City??? Now it's getting REAL personal!
Anybody know anything about this? Just heard a snip on NJN news but didn't catch the name/number of the bill.

We just can not let this happen folks.

3. They are also trying to redefine the borders of FL
and give some of the gulf waters now assigned to FL to LA so that they can then drill for oil. Evil bastards! :mad:

4. Once again, this really sucks.
The beaches are a very large draw for FL. The water is absolutely beautiful. It'd be a damn shame to have it marred by an oil spill.

5. The land borders of states cannot be changed
But I don't know about the waters.

6. Believe me, they tried until they were caught
The governor said Wednesday he was caught off guard by a White House attempt to move Florida's offshore boundaries eastward, to allow oil drilling closer to the coast.
