SAMPLE MESSAGE TO FORWARD:

Hey there,

You've probably seen the devastating images of the BP oil spill in the Gulf--it's shaping up to be one of the largest environmental disasters in American history.

It's a crisis--but it's also a huge opportunity to push for stronger environmental protection and a shift towards clean energy. President Obama has put a "temporary moratorium" on offshore drilling in the wake of the disaster, but we need more. We need a PERMANENT BAN on offshore drilling..

I just signed a petition demanding just that--can you join me? http://www.350.org/drilling-ban

Thanks--working together we can make our voices heard and help stop future disasters like this.
