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.

what has to happen before we take the action that must be taken to protect the environment and the animals that live in it? must we force entire species into extinction before we realize our mistakes?

Humans are a virus slowly killing the planet - we need to rather be a cure for the planet ad stop drilling!

Let us keep the Artic Refuge as just that, a refuge for our children and grand children where polar bears and other animals will be able to survive.

The world's largest bears are beconing extint, at a very fast pace! They are already struggling to survive. Alot of mothers cannot provide for their offspring because of the melting ice. We need to preserve these areas not give them away to the US! Who will know dought drain and destroy them for cash.

Some things are more valuable than money. Destroy the environment, and you destroy the future economy.

We must do better than encouraging further dependence on oil. Construction of drilling fields will take years; ten years before any oil is removed. We must have a better answer for energy than that. Polar bears fit that landscape far better than an oil well...

The Artic Refuge needs to be permanently protected to allow the polar bear to keep on living. These bears need to be protected from oil drilling, permanently. It is a shame that within the next 50 years, this lovely animal will be extinct in Alaska. This is a sin and should not be allowed to happen. Please support the Udall-Eisenhower Artic Wilderness Act (H.R. 39). Thank you.

Please, stop the madness...we have so many other options to protect our environment, and the precious wildlife that need our protection against billion dollar profiteers...some of those alternatives are sanity, wisdom, reason, common sense, intelligence and responsibility to the one priceless habitat we call earth. We know better, we really do!

Before deciding to despoil a scenic national treasure, why don't we take a a real close look at two novel solutions no one has given a real hard try - they're called "conserving energy" and "putting substantial (as opposed to "token) funding into developing alternate sources of energy".

We have one and only one Artic Refuge. This region will disappear, along with the polar bears and the native people of this land, if it is not protected permanently. It is also crucial to preserving the few places left on earth which may yet help the planet to survive the current trend toward Global Warming. Preserve this region and keep it from becoming yet another environmental disaster as a result of the ongoing evidence of human greed & short-sightedness.
