More conversation is being heard in regard to oil drilling off the coast of Florida, in state waters. 1-7 miles out? Former Gov. Charllie Crist and Alex Sink put forth this petition to amend our state constitution in Tallahassee yesterday. We know that most Floridians will vote for this constitutional amendment. We also have support in the legislature to have them put it on the ballot. I say get ready to do this ourselves. This only takes a minute.
So please download your petition and mail it to Tally today!!!
Thank you, mine is ready to go....

http://www.saveourfloridabeaches.net/ Read the Legislation: HB 383.
Save Our Florida Beaches is a coalition of current and former elected officials, environmental groups and Florida citizens who believe that oil drilling should be banned within 10 miles of our coast (also known as "state sovereign waters").
The time has come to send a message to future generations, the federal government, and to the millions of tourists who grace our beaches every year, that we will not allow drilling to occur near our coast. Not now, not ever!
Please sign the petition and return it to P.O. Box 6686, Tallahassee, FL 32314 to help save our Florida beaches.
We also encourage you to check back in periodically for upcoming announcements regarding board appointments, events and other related Save Our Florida Beaches Amendment news.
We thank you in advance for you civic courage in protecting Florida's most cherished natural and economic resources: our miles and miles of beautiful sandy beaches and pristine coastal waters.
