"Before energy producers are permitted to explore offshore, however, Congress must lift their own legislative ban against drilling off the shores of California, Florida and Virginia that has been in place since 1981. Congress will have an opportunity to do so when it returns from August recess. The ban must be renewed each year and is scheduled to expire on September 30, unless Congress takes action to keep it in place."
Call your representatives.

I hope that, as he has on several other issues, that Sen. Obama will change his position and now support offshore oil drilling, Good one. ;-)

Rising energy prices have prompted President George to rescind an executive order enacted by his father...Executive Orders are not "enacted." They are not pieces of legislation. Instead, they are issued by the nation's chief executive and can be rescinded or overriden at will by any future president. Only tradition keeps most presidents from rescinding previous EO's.
