Join Us at the Rally for Economic Survival!

AHBA has joined the fight to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling! Do not be fooled: the federal moratorium on offshore drilling WILL affect YOU! Send a message to Washington to save our economy. Attend the Rally for Economic Survival scheduled for July 21, 2010 at the Lafayette Cajundome from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The Rally for Economic Survival will give a united voice to Louisiana citizens impacted by the federal moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Together we will send a message to the Obama administration to lift the moratorium for Louisiana's jobs and America's energy future. The rally will consist of speakers covering a broad section of those affected by the moratorium including Lt. Governor Scott Angelle. There will be entertainment and a video booth for you to send a personal message to the administration.

THE FACTS

• Thirty-three percent of the domestic oil and gas production comes from the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
• In one act, the Obama administration has signed the pink slips of tens of thousands of Louisiana and Gulf Coast citizens.
• The financial consequences from the moratorium will eventually create an economic ripple effect that will negatively impact every citizen of the United States.
• Consumers will bear the brunt of the federal drilling moratorium paying more everywhere from the pump to the grocery store.
