For Immediate Release: Tea Party Says Vote "NO" on Amendment to Drilling! (West Palm Beach, Florida) – Tea party activists across Florida are encouraging Florida Legislators, specifically, Speaker Larry Cretul and Senate President Jeff Atwater, to vote against any amendment that would permanently ban offshore drilling. Activists are quick to point out that current Florida law prohibits offshore drilling. "We need to focus on solutions for our energy problems," Everett Wilkinson, chairman of Florida Tea Party and South Florida Tea Party, "not held hostage or give knee jerk reactions." Activists are also quick to point out that this appears to be a political move by Gov. Crist to gain support in the polls. Jason Hoyt, Orlando Tea Party, "Why would Crist wait so long to call this session? Is it because he needs help in the polls?" # Press Contact: Tim McClellan South Florida Tea Party 954-234-7115 tim@masteryachtsales.com Visit www.FloridaTeaParty.com for more information. ### *Florida Tea Party, LLC is social networking website setup for the coordination & communication of over 85 tea party groups throughout Florida.
