News Perdue applauds Bush's offshore drilling idea
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Pres. George W. Bush today lifted an executive ban on offshore drilling. Kind of snobbish that only CEOs get to drill for oil off the coast, but whatever, I don't make the rules.
Gov. Sonny Perdue applauds the move and urges Congress to act:
“With record gas prices straining the budgets of many Georgia families, we cannot afford to take any option off the table. It is imperative that we take a balanced approach of conserving, developing alternative energy technologies and increasing the supply of domestically-produced resources. I want to thank President Bush for his action today and I urge Congress to hear the voices of the American people who are asking for relief from our dependence on foreign oil.”
If Congress fails to act, Bush's order will just go in a file cabinet somewhere. Whether you're fer it or agin it, contact your elected official and let them know.
