West Coast Senators Introduce Bill to Protect the Pacific Coast from Offshore Oil Drilling

This morning, Washington Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray joined U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) in introducing legislation to permanently prohibit offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf of California, Oregon and Washington State. Read the full press release.

Surfrider Foundation has an action alert asking President Obama and Congress to reinstate the offshore drilling moratorium. Please click on the alert and take a brief moment to demonstrate the strong grassroots support for protecting our coasts from new offshore oil and gas development and exploration.

If you have another moment, then please drop Senators Cantwell and Murray a quick thank you.
