The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday rejected the Obama administration's proposed five-year offshore drilling plan... Under the president's plan, (the next) a lease sale is scheduled for offshore Virginia in 2017

House Natural Resources Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04), "President Obama's rewritten offshore plan represents a giant step backwards for American offshore energy production and a giant lost opportunity to create over a million new American jobs,"...

The House voted 253-170 in favor of replacing Obama's proposed plan with (Hastings) H.R. 6082, which would expand the number of lease sales held, and would open up for leasing tracts on the Outer Continental Shelf offshore southern California and Virginia.

Obama’s isn’t a five-year plan - it’s a five-year ban.

Actually, it’s just another five year plan to ruin this country.
