The Miami Herald reports the Republican-lead Legislature will try to quash it.
But while the Republican-led Legislature prepared to squash the governor's plan and rob him of a victory he can use in his bid to win the U.S. Senate seat, they may take a political hit in the process.
Protestors from oil-ravaged regions of the state are heading to the Capitol Tuesday and dozens of business owners, restaurant workers, defense industry contractors and hotel operators from Northwest Florida plan to sit in the House gallery as lawmakers reject the drilling ban.
``We want to make it clear that we are paying very close attention,'' warned Cathy Harrelson, a St. Petersburg environmental activist and one of the organizers behind a rally at the Capitol to support the constitutional ban.

If Farmton is the poster child for Amendment 4, don't you think the Deepwater Horizon spill is the poster child for banning offshore drilling?
The spill is hundreds of times worse than the Exxon Valdez mess. It will affect the Gulf Coast for many years to come. It's horrendous.
Every Legislator who tries to quash the ban must be voted out of office.
