Any chance of this going anywhere in the People's Republic of Silliness?

"It has been a bipartisan, multistate, bicoastal agreement for 25 years among members of the House and Senate, who have perpetuated the agreement year after year. All of a sudden, that is being blown asunder."

This is a bad idea. The Federal moratorium needs to be ended and my State needs to be stripped of any ability to regulate oil production. We are hurting the rest of the nation with our stupid environmental laws. Our coast should be lined with rigs and we shouldn't get a single dime of revenue from them. We don't deserve that money after what we've done to the rest of you these past 25 years.
