Colleagues,
You've probably seen the devastating images of the BP oil spill in the Gulf
--it's shaping up to be one of the largest environmental disasters in Ameri
can history.
It's a crisis--but it's also a huge opportunity to push for stronger enviro
nmental protection and a shift towards clean energy. President Obama has p
ut a "temporary moratorium" on offshore drilling in the wake of the disaste
r, but we need more. We need a PERMANENT BAN on offshore drilling..
I just signed a petition demanding just that--can you join me? http://www.3

Thanks--working together we can make our voices heard and help stop future
disasters like this.
