Officials currently estimate that a million gallons of oil per day may be leaking from the broken BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig, with no near-term fix in sight. Despite the massive disaster, President Obama still has not reversed his March 31 decision to expand oil drilling.

Hundreds of imperiled species in the Gulf will be harmed by the toxic oil from the loggerhead sea turtle to the Alabama beach mouse and Atlantic bluefin tuna. On top of that, local communities dependent on the ocean for their livelihoods are already feeling the devastating impacts with no relief in site. And Obama has proposed opening the Arctic, Atlantic coast and Eastern Gulf to new drilling. **Urge President Obama to enact a permanent ban on all new offshore oil and gas exploration and development.**
