The following comment was sent to Sen. Lieberman, Sen. Dodd and Rep. Murphy:

I am writing to request you change your vote on drilling for oil in ANWR and off the coasts. Cuba with the help of China will be drilling 60 miles off the coast of Florida. They will not care if our beaches are contaminated by a spill. If we control the oil in the region, we can ensure drilling techniques that are safe. Increasing output no matter how small is the only way to bridge the gap until alternative energy sources are online. Also the oil companies make an average of 10% profit. Our last refinery was built in 1976. Oil companies are not the cause of high oil prices. Supply is. Telling oil exporting countries to send more is not the answer. We need more drilling. I will be encouraging everyone I know to contact you on this matter until Congress has taken appropriate measures.
