Urge Congress to Permanently Protect the Arctic Refuge!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is home to caribou, snow fox and millions of migratory birds. It is also the most important onshore denning habitat for America's vanishing polar bears.
But this natural treasure is constantly under siege. Time and time again, the oil industry and their allies in Congress have sought to open this special place to harmful new drilling, threatening all of the wildlife that depend on it for survival.
And now President Bush has called for drilling in the Arctic Refuge by 2010 in his new budget proposal!
We need to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge! Urge your Representative to support the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act (H.R. 39) to permanently protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Unless we consider all life important, we will continue to eradicate species. Human arrogance will be our species undoing.

Polar bears desperately need this protection due to global warming. The drilling proposed is unnecessary and destructive. The oil gained will be gone LONG before the environment has a chance to begin to heal. Start thinking clean, renewable energy, and saving and protecting this entire area and all life within.

I want this refuge protected. As usual the president doesn't seem to care about species or habitats. it's time we moved towards finding other means to power our great country instead of oil and the destruction of our refuges.

I am deeply concerned about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the treasured wildlife that lives there. That's why I strongly urge you to ensure that this national treasure is permanently protected to the full extent of the law by supporting the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act (H.R. 39).

This is not necessary and I understand it would not be a drop in the bucket. Go after the big oil companies that are manipulating the market instead.

When will the maniacal reign of George W. Bush's pour, fueled by big business decision making process end? How did an unevolved bafoon end up in the White House at all? We share this Earth with animals that are impacted by virtually every decision that we act upon. We are beyond the need for survival. Greed is no excuse. There are better ways. They just won't line your pockets. Is it because you won't be around to watch it all fall down? You kids will feel it and their kids will be ultimately impacted by your insanity. There are better ways and alternative means. So, stop ignoring the Acts that protect the wildlife and their environment. Stop invading every territory that you can think of. This isn't a board game. This is real life.

Drill for a small amount of oil that will be used up in less than 6 months that is just about the worst plan ever. And we as a nation should not be looking for oil we shoud be looking for the alternative to OIL. Get off the oil!!
