I am totally blown away reading this thread. It was an honor to participate yesterday, and yes, I do think it should be an annual event. Having grown up on the Texas coast I am well too aware of what drilling does to the beaches and ecosystem in the area. Tar Balls, Black Water and smelly dead fish were a part of "going to the beach" when I was young. When I found this place I could not believe it was the same Gulf of Mexico I grew up on. We cannot allow drilling off our beautiful beaches. This one issue I will not let rest. Bravo to Dave for getting us started....
