Your Signature is Needed: Stop potential oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop a potential catastrophic OIL SPILL in the Gulf of Mexico! Picture this: a sunset melting into the ocean horizon. A beautiful white-sand beach -- or at least it used to be. Now, the shore is coated black. The once-blue water shimmers with dirty oil. Dead marine animals wash onto the beach: poisoned sea turtles and drowned sea birds. Oil spills impact people living by the shore too. Fumes cause breathing complications. Fish die-offs devastate coastal economies. Immeasurable loss, Friend. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is planning three new lease sales to let Big Oil drill in the Gulf of Mexico, risking another spill. We need 4,309 more signatures before the comment deadline to reach our goal! [Help cancel offshore lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico! Send your message now! >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( These lease sales include critical habitat for the endangered Rice’s whale with only an estimated 51 whales remaining on Earth! Offshore seismic blasting from oil rigs interrupts their sonar and the ship traffic increases risk of striking and killing these poor creatures. Don’t let Big Oil hurt communities and wildlife in the Gulf. You can help us prevent another catastrophic oil spill. But, Friend, we’re running out of time!
