Surfing Waves

USA goes to the polls on Tuesday November 6th and you're going to vote, right?

As surfers, we can at least agree that things are worth preserving, regardless of how we feel about virtually anything else in this world...having a natural, beautiful coastline, unspoiled by pollution, plastic debris and beach erosion. And, say, having thriving coral reefs and wildlife in our playground--these are good and important things that we’ll really miss when gone.

Are there ocean friendly ballot measures or candidates that you support?

I'm a Surfrider fan and follow their blog. https://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog

They say who they're against but not who they're for. Still, knowing who NOT to vote for is still worthwhile.

Some more food for thought.

The corrupt Rohrabacher out and "Make surfing great again" Rouda in. Orange County was way, way overdue for a change.

Hopefully, Rouda will protect the coasts and actually start doing something about climate change.

For those who don't know Dana Rohrabacher, the defeate Republican, here's a little info about him.

Rohrabacher likes to describe himself as a maverick. But these days, he’s more of a reactionary than a libertarian. He has said that homeowners shouldn’t have to sell to gay people and that climate change could have been caused by dinosaurs farting. He called the death of a protester during last year’s white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, a “total hoax” manipulated by “left-wingers.” He speculated without evidence ― falsely, it turned out ― that a shooter at YouTube’s headquarters this year was an “illegal immigrant.”
