So the offshore drilling legislation proposed would keep rigs beyond 3 miles off the Atlantic coast & 10 miles off the Gulf Coast. What are your thoughts? Does 10 miles really make our beaches safe from an oil disaster? Way the pros & cons - how much help would these rigs bring to our economy? What is the likelihood of another oil spill disaster?

Look at what the spill in the Gulf did to our economy. Commercial fishermen were without work, hotels lost business, restaurants were hurting - any business along the coast were hit pretty hard. Not to mention what it did to the ecology of our ocean. Way too many marine life were killed & harmed. Do you know how long it will take to get the Gulf back to the way it was? YEARS! Screw politicians - we the people need to have our voices heard. Stop all drilling in the Gulf!

I absolutely disagree with you "knotlikely"! Our economy needs all the help it can get. Offshore drilling would help stimulate the economy by creating jobs and lessening the U.S.'s reliance on other countries for oil. We have to start helping ourselves & stop using other counties for natural resources. Bring American jobs back to America!
