Liberty for the Ocean!

Victory! Governor Cuomo vetoed the proposed Port Ambrose liquefied natural gas facility! His quick decision, a week after the final public hearings, showed that this project was dangerous and unnecessary!

Waves of thanks to you and to the thousands of citizens and over 150 organizations who fought side by side for over seven years to stop LNG off our coast. This battle was won through the dedication and determination from concerned citizens and a strong bi-state coalition we helped to create. The grassroots activism, hours of research, and public pressure helped keep our ocean wild and LNG free.

We will continue to monitor this issue to make sure the Maritime Administration rejects this project as quickly as possible. Even though Governor Cuomo’s veto has stopped the proposal, it is critically important that Governor Christie affirm his vow to veto Port Ambrose, making this a bi-state and bipartisan victory, as well as a warning to fossil fuel companies to stay away from our coast.

Liberty at last - Port Ambrose is officially dead in the water! We will continue to work tirelessly against any fossil fuel infrastructure off the New York and New Jersey coast.

Hi, my name is ___________. I am a voter/student/resident from __________ and I am calling to urge Governor Christie to veto the Port Ambrose liquefied natural gas project.

In 2010 Governor Christie promised as long as he is Governor he would veto any LNG application off our coast. I urge Governor Christie to keep his word and veto Port Ambrose.

This project is bad for New Jersey, harmful to the marine environment and threatens our safety.  Governor Christie must put an end to this project once and for all by vetoing Port Ambrose. Thank you.

Sample Email Message:

Dear Governor Christie,

Back in 2010 you strongly stated that you would oppose any application for any type of liquefied natural gas project off our coast. I urge you to keep your promise and veto the proposed Port Ambrose LNG facility.

The national and regional safety issues, environmental and economic concerns that prompted your first veto are the same concerns for Port Ambrose. This project is bad for New Jersey, bad for the marine environment and bad for the future of our planet. Please put an end to this project once and for all.

Veto Port Ambrose! Thank you.
Sincerely,

Your Name
