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.

We need to spend money to develop renewable energy. Stop spending 500 billion in 2008 to rob Iraq for Oil friends

Please protect the Stellar sea lions and other endangered species in Bristol Bay--they are more precious than oil.

The time for protecting America [in more ways than one] is NOW! Do the right thing. You know what that is. Stop being so stubborn. Do what the American people want. NOT what 'The Decider' wants!

Don't drill here. Energy independence can only come from renewal sources of energy. Fossil fuels are fuels of the past. Do the right thing and leave Bristol Bay alone.

Do not add oil drilling in Bristol Bay to your already dismal environmental record. We cannot drill our way to energy independence. The sacrifice of irreplaceable environmental assets is not necessary. You should concentrate on reducing dependence on oil by conservation and alternative energy sources and new technologies.

Oil is a temporary solution to energy needs; don't cause permanent damage to the world's biodiversity and ecology for this stopgap solution. Find long-term alternate solutions and invest in improving efficiency of usage of existing oil. Please leave the moratorium on drilling in place.

Let's not postpone a sustainable energy future any more. This would enable such a postponement. The only beneficiaries of opening Bristol Bay would be the oil producers.

Now is the time to redeem yourself! Start protecting wildlife and invest in alternative energy sources! Mr. Bush you have been no friend to the Environment or Wildlife. Stop being a slave to the almighty dollar and do what is right!

Earth to Bush: we are 20 years behind Japan and Europe in moving our economy away from fossil fuels, developing alternative energy, and promoting energy conservation. Chicken-scratching for a few more barrels of oil is missing the point (and one last belly-up-to-the-bar for an increasingly obsolete industry) . Leave the Alaskan coast alone and get with the program: oil is a dead-end street, and alternatives are where we should be putting our money.
