Our 7th District U.S. Rep. John Mica does not represent our District well. Florida has no oil refineries. That's a good thing -- it preserves our tourist economy. With oil drilling would come oil refineries, which would inevitablyl foul our beaches and destroy our economy.
Mica's daughter and brothers lobby for energy interests. He was long the only Florida politician to support offshore oil drilling.
We prefer our beaches clean and our politicians honest.
Mica wants to allow Big Oil to have its way with our beaches, while refusing to discuss the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Highway. He has a very low rating from the League of Conservation Voters, while favoring oleaginous special interests. Color him uncritical toward anything Big Oil has in mind for our coastlines.
In the immortal words of Sir Winston Spencer Churchill, "we shall fight them on the beaches."
