Gov. Bush's aggressive efforts to protect Florida's coast led to the protection we currently have. I think most people agree we need him once again to go to the mat on this issue if we're going to win some meaningful protections.
He clearly has the best access of any elected official in the country to the White House. And this is a White House plan to open Florida's coast to drilling.
Allowing any drilling off the coast poses a serious threat to our way of life and our economy. We would like to see our policy-makers fighting to oppose any drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
