Drill off our coast? No way!
No amount of drilling off Florida’s coast is going to change the
fact that our nation only has 3% of the world’s oil reserves, and that
we consume 25% of the world’s oil supply. Lifting the moratorium would
not ease pain at the pump for average Americans. Just last year, the
president signed a bill to open 8 million acres to new drilling, and
instead of going down, gas prices are now at an all time high.

Gov. Crist underestimates how much we care, but that’s something we can
