No one really believes that every oil company on the waterfront will be shut down by the passage of the Waterfront Protection Ordinance. That is what the opposition claims in their “economic” report that is based on a false assumption!

More to the point, it’s not all about oil economics, but about the overall health and economy of South Portland! About 2,400 people both live and work in South Portland while 85 (residence unknown) work in oil.

Neighbors, of course you realize, today, Americas’ No. 1 problem is that, we, the majority, are not being heard! Your last chance may very well be Nov. 5, 2013.

Let your voice be heard about tar sands oil and its direct effect upon your family, now, and for years to come! Vote yes for the Waterfront Protection Ordinance.
