[StBernard] Important Oil Spill Information

[Westley Annis]

At the request of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Lieutenant Governor Scott
Angelle led the formation of the Gulf Economic Survival Team (GEST). This
team consisting of Chambers of Commerce, business organizations and local
elected officials in coastal Louisiana have joined together to urge
President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to
take swift and appropriate action on federal drilling regulations and end
the drilling moratorium quickly in an effort to save over 20,000 jobs in the
region.  The Thibodaux Chamber is proud to be a member of GEST.
 
GEST is currently conducting an on-line petition to be delivered to
President Obama regarding the moratorium placed on drilling.  Please visit
the website for more information on GEST and to sign the petition:
www.GEST.la.gov <http://www.gest.la.gov>    Deadline to participate is
Wednesday morning (June 16).
