Activists like you won an amazing policy victory last year when public outrage forced Congress to finally end its ban on offshore drilling, after 26 long years of keeping America’s vast energy resources in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) locked up and off the market.

A year later, the Obama administration is doing everything it can to drag its feet and prevent us from accessing American energy resources. They are trying to ignore the millions of Americans who demanded access to American energy resources by secretly putting the ban back in place.

Even more amazing and outrageous: the Obama administration is now actually poised to lend $2 billion from U.S. taxpayers to the Brazilian national oil company, Petrobras, for offshore drilling in Brazil.

This administration is actually going to force you to pay for offshore drilling in Brazil, at the same time they try to block offshore drilling (by private companies) here in America!

Fortunately, you can do something about it. The Obama administration is required by law to listen to public comments on the subject of energy exploration and production in the OCS.

Please fill out the form below to tell the Obama administration to allow offshore drilling here in America!

The form will send a comment to the federal Minerals Management Service (MMS). MMS needs to hear from activists like you who support the new five-year leasing program that would finally open up access to the OCS.

If you would like more information before commenting, you can read the Federal Register summary of the draft proposed plan here or the full plan here on the MMS.gov website

Please fill out the form below and edit the suggested letter as you see fit. We will deliver the letter to Ms. Renee Orr, the 5-year program manager at the MMS.
