IADC is actively engaged in working to resume drilling in the Gulf of Mexico as soon as possible, and asks your help in the effort! To make Washington understand the importance of offshore drilling to your livelihood, and therefore to your family and your community, PLEASE take a few moments to download, print, sign and mail a letter to your
Representative and Senator.
IADC has prepared model letters for your convenience, and pre-addressed these for certain key Gulf Coast
Representatives and Senators, as well as representatives from several other States. These letters are available through links by the
Representative’s or Senator’s name in the
blue or green drop-down boxes (below).
We have also enclosed
generic model letters without address information. You can find these model letters in the
orange table (below the
blue/green drop-down boxes). If your
Representative and Senator is not shown in the table below, please use the
appropriate spreadsheet in the
purple table to identify him or her.
The website also includes additional information relevant to the spill.
Offshore drilling, when conducted properly, as it has been for decades in the Gulf of Mexico, is a safe, environmentally benign activity that benefits all Americans and provides a substantial number of good jobs for hardworking families. Don’t let the Government scrub this fine industry. Please act today! Thank you in advance from IADC!
US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has introduced legislation entitled the “Clean Energy Jobs and Oil Company Accountability Act of 2010,” whose language and proposals would have a very negative impact on offshore drilling and production, including removal of the existing $725 million liability limit for offshore facilities.
