Clean Ocean Action sponsored a really well attended rally against LNG on the Asbury Park boardwalk yesterday. There were speakers, a human SOS spelled out in the sand, and a few dozen surfers paddled out and held up a giant NO LNG banner.

Jim Lovgren, a commercial fisherman speaks out against LNG on the Asbury Park boardwalk.  Jim was joined by elected officials, environmental leaders, surfers, and business owners.  Over a hundred people crammed the boardwalk n support of efforts to stop LNG.  

The NJ Legislature just passed a resolution against offshore oil drilling and I could not agree with them more.  But if they don't want us to drill for the oil that is rightfully ours, why on earth would they want us to import this dirty, foreign, liquid natural gas from other countries?
