Many of you know about the HUGE oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that happened a few days ago. It might be the worst environmental catastrophe in America's history. Oil is continuing to pour out of the broken rig. Workers died in the accident. And America is STILL considering more offshore drilling.
SAY NO. Go to the above site to send a pre-written email (you can edit it) to Obama. We can't afford to use any more oil in this world.

"Dear President Obama,
I write to comment on the Department of the Interior's new Outer Continental Shelf Preliminary Revised Oil and Gas Leasing Program 2007 - 2012 (revised program) announced on March 31. My comments specifically focus on the plan's impacts on the Arctic Ocean and the decision to expand offshore oil drilling nationwide.
I am very disappointed that the proposal would allow the same harmful exploratory drilling that resulted in the British Petroleum oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico to occur in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas this summer. We must learn from the devastation unfolding in the Gulf and take action now to stop future offshore oil drilling.
The Chukchi and Beaufort seas are both biologically rich and extremely fragile. They are home to America's only populations of threatened polar bears, Pacific walrus, and many ice seal species. These iconic species are quickly losing their sea-ice habitat to global warming. It defies logic to open up this fragile, melting environment to dirty, industrial oil and gas development. As the Gulf of Mexico spill shows, industry claims about the safety of their operations are simply untrue. There is no safe way to drill for oil in Alaska's seas, and no way to clean up spilled oil in broken ice conditions.
I urge you to immediately withdraw your approval for Shell Oil to drill in this summer in the Arctic. In order to truly protect the people and environment of the Arctic, you must not allow exploration and development of the current leases in the Arctic.
Further, I urge you to reverse your decision to expand offshore oil drilling nationwide.
Thank you."
