Dear Michael L.,

The Obama White House has radically changed their policy on offshore oil drilling - your hard work has finally paid off!

Recently, with little fanfare or media attention, the Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, announced a ban on all offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico as well as anywhere along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.1

This is a HUGE victory and the tens of thousands of signatures from people like you helped make sure the White House made the right call. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) helped make your voices heard by taking our message all the way to the U.S. Senate. And Secretary Salazar signed the order to protect our coasts. Without their help, we might not be celebrating this victory today!

Will you say a quick thanks to Menendez and Salazar? You can sign the special Holiday Thank You card here.

Shutting down offshore oil drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico as well as along the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines is a huge step in cleaning up our oceans and our energy policy.

We need to make sure the administration and Senator Menenedez know we support their work on this policy. That's why we're asking you to sign the holiday thank you card and help spread the good news to friends and family.

Click here to sign the card and spread the word.

Thanks for adding your voice to this effort and congratulations on helping change our policies for the better.

For the oceans,

Japhet Els

P.S. We'll continue to follow any more offshore drilling changes or amendments with the new Congress and will keep you posted. For now, join us in sending a thank you card to show the administration and Sen. Menendez that we support this new policy!
