On July 23, 2009, Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee voted for a bill which would have allowed the first new oil drilling off our coast in the last 40 years.


The proposed new oil well would have been

just 25 miles from Pismo State Beach.


An oil spill like the one in Louisiana

would destroy our local tourism and

fishing industries, and hurt real estate

values. The environmental devastation 

would be second only to the devastation

that would ripple throughout our

economy.


Who would recklessly gamble with our

environment and livelihood?


Former Exxon oilman, Assemblyman Sam

Blakeslee.

Within days of the BP oil

rig disaster in Louisiana,

a fishing ban 150 miles across was established. A

few days later, oil was washing-up 500 miles away.
