Gov. Bobby Jindal spoke at the Rally for Economic Survival in Lafayette, La. against the Obama Administration’s job-killing offshore drilling moratorium, saying it would be bad for their security and economy.

“This moratorium does nothing to reduce our enemy needs in this country. All this moratorium does is send more American dollars, more American jobs overseas– sometimes these countries aren’t even friendly towards us. Somebodies got to explain to me how sending more dollars and more jobs overseas is good for America’s economy, good for security, good for the state of Louisiana, cause I’m here to tell you it’s not”, he said during his address.

Reports show a drilling moratorium will cost the Gulf states thousands of jobs and the U.S. economy would lose $2.8 billion in economic activity and the federal treasurers will lose $220 million in lost tax revenue– all in just in the first six months. As for the number of jobs lost, recent reports indicate that it could be as many as 120,000. The companies currently drilling in the Gulf region would simply relocate overseas, sending the jobs with them.

He speaks for all of down on the coast, where we live. I am convinced he does not like us, hates us, could care less about us cause we sure damn well didn't vote for him.

thanks Gov for the standing up for us.....
