After the Florida legislature recessed after less than two hours in Tallahassee yesterday refusing to put the issue of offshore drilling on the November ballot I feel powerless and betrayed.

 After three months of watching the worst environmental disaster in the history of the United States the spineless bastards we elected to serve us betrayed us again. Why did they do this? Because big oil lobbyists control the political process, taxpayers are powerless. the lobbyists pour so much money into the politicians’ accounts that they are simply puppets who do what the lobbyists tell them to.

 Each day I get older I become more cynical about what the politicians at all levels of government say. That’s because when it’s time to do something constructive they do the opposite.

 We have seen countless acres of the Gulf of Mexico polluted. Shorelines and beaches are mired with oil that kills many forms of life whether it swims or flies. Tell all the politicians to not let the drilling in the Gulf continue.

 Tell them that by voting for their opposition. Get rid of the drill baby drill faction. Get rid of Harry Reid who is in the mining lobbys’ pocket. Don’t vote for the career politician, they are beholding to some lobbyist.
