Tell Obama You Oppose His Offshore Drilling Plan

Today my post has nothing to do with jewelry. For those of you I talk to daily, you know how utterly disgusted I am at Obama's new plan to drill for oil off the Eastern U.S. and the Gulf of Mexico. As someone born and raised in the ocean, I am appalled to think that someday our kids won't be able to swim in the ocean because of the countless spills that will ultimately contaminate our seas.

For those of you who think I am overreacting, please catch up on your recent news. There have been 2 spills in Louisiana in the last 2 weeks. One of the spills is so out of control that they are predicting that it will take up to 3 months to stop the 42,000 GALLONS A DAY (!!!!!) that are spilling out into the sea. Think of the effect this will have on the reefs, the fishing industries, the wildlife, etc.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to go to the beach and stare at this:

I'm asking everyone I know to do what you can to stop the construction of these oil platforms. I have included a link below to a petition against the proposed plan. PLEASE, PLEASE sign it. Also, if you know of any other ways to get involved, feel free to post them here. We are all responsible for what becomes of our Earth, whether it be good or bad. So please take this opportunity to do some good!
