Thousands of people worldwide stood hand in hand \u2014 with some, here in South Beach at least, breaking the chain only for surfers or topless women \u2014 to protest drilling and to demand cleaner energy sources. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe every American and every person has a beach that they hold dear to their heart,\u201d said Mr. Rauschkolb, 48, a lifelong surfer. \u201cThis resonates. It\u2019s a very simple yet powerful statement for people to go to the beach and draw a line in the sand.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThis is not rocket science. Our basic message is no to offshore oil drilling and yes to clean energy. Why is it that it takes a disaster in the gulf of this magnitude to get our leaders to pay attention? They need to stop taking that oil money and listen to their constituents.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Larry Lawhorn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By THE NEW YORK TIMES Published: June 26, 2010 MIAMI BEACH, Fla. \u2014 The first time Dave Rauschkolb staged a rally against offshore drilling with people holding hands across the beach outside his restaurant in Seaside, Fla., barely anyone noticed.
