I boat in the Chesapeake Bay and walk regularly at Sandbridge National Refuge. Please help save those two national treasures.

Off shore drilling is an irresponsible action considering the potential dangers to our beautiful area that it presents.

With the two just occurred oil spills off the coast of California, and an oil slick that stretched for miles, what could possibly go wrong with oil drilling here????? How much money are you guys getting from Big Oil to push this assinine policy through?

No matter what the oil industry says, oil drilling is a high risk activity for an outdated source of energy. It's not worth the risk to our beaches, marine life, the ocean, or our tourist- driven economy. Please...just say no.

It's time to invest in the future and leave the fossils fuels to the history books. Will stand up or roll over? Oil brought us far lets not allow it take us to the end. Stop the drilling.

Tourism being our bread and butter it would seem that City Council would vote in opposition of offshore drilling especially off our coast. Any catastrophic incidents would not only cause immediate issues with tourism and the environment but would deter long term tourism and most likely potential future home owners. But hey, money deletes any and all conscience so if any stand to benefit from it we'll be seeing rigs!

We need leaders with vision and foresight! Drilling is for yesterday's resources, and risks irreparable damage to our environment. Just say NO!

Please oppose drilling offshore. Watch what has occurred in other areas. Keep our beaches clean, tourism healthy.

Drilling is BAD. It will end up hurting us, no matter what pretty stories the companies may tell you. Things happen. Human error is always waiting to wreck something. It is NOT worth the risk.

Off shore wind is a clean safe way to get energy and create jobs without damaging our coast and tourism and fishing industries. A lot of the regions income also comes from the navy. The navy also opposes off shore drilling. There is so much to lose from off shore oil development even without a major disaster like the BP spill. Please add your voice to those opposed to off shore drilling.
