Voices from the Gulf Coast on Economic Survival
As thousands poured into the Cajundome this morning to rally against the Obama Administration’s moratorium on offshore exploration, many wanted to speak directly to government leaders in Washington, DC.

Background here. A report from the Rally here. Our latest letter here and how you can send a letter to protest the standstill on energy exploration activities in the Gulf.
