Hi All,
Generate enough hot air, and any issue expands exponentially. Congressional Republicans figured that out, and are attempting to obtain approval of an energy bill in support of the Keystone Pipeline and offshore drilling using whatever means necessary, including tacking on a "save Drakes oysters" amendment. See Press Democrat article "House GOP Bill Includes Protection for Drakes Bay Oyster Co." of Marcy 14, 2013.

Again, I wish LPSF would indeed get involved in the serious issue of so much land being sold to the Feds by cash-strapped entrepreneurs. However, I do not feel that this "save Drakes Bay" movement is dealing with this situation with clarity and honesty -- just witness the GOP's opportunistic action to see what the movement is attracting.
