Protect Wildlife in Bristol Bay from Oil Drilling
Target: President BushSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
The Bristol Bay is home to endangered Northern Pacific right whales and Steller sea lions. It is also one of the worlds most productive fishing grounds, with and important snow crab fishery and the planets largest sockeye salmon run.
But President Bush has a different vision for this precious piece of the Pacific: he wants to turn it over to profit-rich Big Oil, lifting a moratorium that has been in place since the disastrous Exxon Valdez spill.
Now is not the time to open more wild lands to oil drilling. Its the time to protect the wildlife and fishing interests in this fragile region and invest in alternative energy sources that are well within our reach. Sign this petition to help prevent another Big Oil spill in Alaskas still recovering Bristol Bay.

If it's something harmful to the environment you can expect Bush to go for it. I pray that our voices will be heard and this insanity stops. It is going to be hard stopping the land raper from going after his precious oil though be it for himself or his rich oil tycoon buddies.

By LIfting the moratorium on Bristol Bay, in short-term time, will be good for the oil industry. But , in long- term effects, will cause irreperable damage to the environment.

The cost of extracting this oil, coupled with the grave risk to the natural balance of this region should some mishap occur, make this scheme untenable. Please do not resume drilling: extend the moratorium in Bristol Bay and impose a similar one along all the nation's coasts. Invest in renewable energy sources, mass-transit solutions, and ecosystem restoral for our energy future and healthy survival.

Please continue to protect the animals/mammals on the Pacific Coast. They are God's creatures & not ours to annilate with chemicals.

We should not lift the moratorium on oil drilling in Bristol Bay because we need to preserve the wildlife in this area. This is something that can never be replaced, once it is gone.

Due to the negative effects oil drilling has on our wildlife, I am asking you to NOT life the moratorium on oil drilling in Bristol Bay. Please keep in mind the animals, when making such serious decisions. Profit is simply a greedy reason and justification for such decisions.

These final relatively pristine areas of our nation contain ecologically and commercially valuable species. Please do not allow this corrupt and evil president to continue to act against the American public will. He is consistently acting against the will of the people and our very Constitution. Please impeach George Bush, and remove all possibility of further violation in every area of our Constitution, environmental health, human rights, and the peaceful future of the Earth.
