Two weeks ago, we told you about the Obama
administration's outrageous decision to lend taxpayer money to Brazil's
national oil company Petrobras (George Soros is a major investor) to
finance Brazil's offshore drilling, while at the same time blocking
private companies from drilling offshore here in America.
Since then we've collected over 18,000
comments from activists urging the Minerals Management Service
of Obama's Department of the Interior to allow offshore drilling in
America.
If you haven't filed a comment yes, please do it
today. The official deadline is September 21st, but we're setting our
own deadline of September 17th to make sure we have time to get all the
comments included in the official record.

here in America!
Activists like you won an amazing policy victory
last year when public outrage forced Congress to finally end its ban on
offshore drilling, after 26 long years of keeping America's vast energy
resources in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) locked up and off the
market.
Now the Obama administration is doing everything
it can to drag its feet and prevent us from accessing American energy
resources. They are trying to ignore the millions of Americans who
demanded access to American energy resources by secretly putting the
ban back in place.
The Obama administration is required by law to
listen to public comments on the subject of energy exploration and
production in the OCS.
Offshore drilling in the OCS would be a real
economic stimulus that would create jobs and economic growth. ICF
International estimates more than 160,000 well-paying American jobs
would be created from allowing oil and gas drilling offshore.
According to federal government estimates, the OCS
contains 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of
natural gas. We can't afford to wait until the next price spike to
start drilling. We need to drill here in America now.

Time is running short. The docket closes in just a
few days, and the radical environmentalists are filing comments in huge
numbers from the other side. Please comment today and pass this email
on to anyone you know who can help us get as many comments as possible
by September 17th. Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Phil Kerpen
