Almost two months into the BP oil disaster, more Americans oppose increased offshore drilling than support it.

With the BP oil spill becoming possibly the worst ecological disaster in US history, why are Dems like Jon Kerry still supporting offshore drilling?

The Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster is getting worse by the hour. At the Seminal, diarist Seymour Friendly writes that the collapsed well is leaking oil at the pace of 200,000 gallons a day. If Obama moves forward with expanded offshore drilling, this disaster will only be the beginning. Sign our petition to President Obama asking he end his plans for offshore drilling.
