Emerald Isle (NC) opposes seismic testing offshore

3. I guess Cooper is starting to organize a run for Governor.

I sure hope so. No other Dem seems to be stepping up.

I signed the petition from the League of Conservation Voters, too.


We only moved to NC in 2000. Lived in Southern California for many years--Santa Monica Canyon
about 5 minutes from the beach-- before we left in 1988. Love Hawaii and many of the Caribbean islands.
In the 15 years we've been here, we've tried Nags Head, Topsail, Bald Head Island, Wrightsville Beach, but
keep coming back to Emerald Isle. I've also heard Corolla is nice--and not as expensive as EI has become--
but we have yet to try it. EI is closer for us (Chapel Hill).

It seems that Republicans don't understand something unless it hits home to them personally. Maybe
the drilling offshore is something that will wake up these folks in the beach communities that seem to
think Republicans will represent their interests, when all the Republican politicians really care about is keeping the Popes/Kochs of
the world happy.
