The Big Oil Trump Card

There is only one Key West!! Riding around the "old town" on a farm tractor brought out the very best in people. Taking children for a ride around the block brought excitement to children and parents alike. Friends in Key West are working their "magic" in raising support. Making the turn north tomorrow. See you on the east coast of Florida at 20 mph.

The effects of the oil spill on Key West's economic viability has the whole island upset and mobilized to fight back.

My opposition to off shore drilling and my proposal to hold oil company executives responsible, corporately and individually, is well received here.

One hotel reported that hundreds of reservations have been canceled citing the oil spill as the reason.

Maybe congress should freeze the price of fuel until all restitution is made. If not, oil companies will simply make us pay for their transgressions at the pump. Like it is, they suffer no consequence while the public pays the price.
