TELL CONGRESS, "IGNORE OBAMA AND GET SERIOUS ON OIL/GAS PRODUCTION


It's time for America to be Energy Independent. It's Time to Open the Gulf.

Do you support expanding oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico?
Join the movement today – send your message to tell Washington, DC to get serious about American energy.
Over the last year, we’ve watched gas and energy prices soar with ever foreign conflict while employment numbers dwindled here at home. So why is the United States ignoring the potential of its very own abundant oil and gas reserves while depending on unfriendly nations for our energy needs?
Thousands of people are signing on and sending a message to Washington, D.C. to Open the Gulf and tap into the cost-saving and job-creating benefits of American energy. You can join this movement by sending your message today.
The results of the Gulf drilling slowdown are far-reaching – and all too real:

  • Truck Drive Mark Hassemer lost his job due to high fuel costs.
  • Louisiana business owner Lori Davis saw 70% of her business evaporate due to the moratorium and permitorium.
  • Colorado Farmer Marc Arnesh relies on low energy costs to produce quality, affordable food.
  • Gulf of Mexico tugboater Cory Kief has reduced his fleet by a third, affecting jobs in his companies as well as his suppliers in Michigan and Illinois.
A return to previous permitting levels and a clearer regulatory environment has the potential to unlock hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions in revenue for the Gulf and for the entire country. Oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico region has the potential to provide for approximately 30% of U.S. oil production and 11% of natural gas production.
Send your message to President Obama and Congress TODAY through the Open the Gulf petition.
