Why would President Bush need to come up with a plan to persuade them? By the time Congress repeals the ban on offshore drilling, he wont be in office.

Besides, the states should have the right to determine whether they explore off their shore. Just dont be surprised if the people get tired of high gas prices and want to vote them out.

Just so you know, a'21, the price of fuel and drilling off the western coasts do not corelate at all at this time or in the foreseeable future. Even the oil companies have said that repeatedly!!!!!! You, sir, have fallen victim to the reichwingers scare tactic to give them permission to screw you and me and I ain't letting them get by with it unopposed. Dig it?
