Please take a moment to sign Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s petition to lift the drilling moratorium. The offshore drilling moratorium will be devastating to our Gulf Coast region, where hundreds of thousands of residents work in jobs that service the oil and gas industry. The impacts we are suffering from the BP oil spill are bad enough; the moratorium will cause massive layoffs and cripple our economies like never seen before, and we will likely feel the impact for years. Please act quickly to institute offshore safeguards, reduce the drilling moratorium to 30 days, and get us working again to fuel this nation!

it won't matter. They are using this as an excuse to kill the oil industry here in the U.S.

It will eventually matter, look at the people they are alienating:
Doctors
Bankers
Oil and Gas
Insurance

This is exactly why even if you're not in the oil industry you need to stand up and fight this crap. Who knows when they're going to come after you and your business.

I've seen this e-mail pop up 5 times in my inbox....

Nearing 10,000 ...........I thought it would be slow to 20,000 since most in the oilfield biz knock off early on Friday......Maybe 50K by Monday afternoon.

Won't matter.

Online petitions are ineffective and unverifiable.

Never used to influence policy.

But someone is out there getting valuable legitimate email addresses and lots of free personal data from the stupid people signing it.

why online petitions don't work
