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.

We don't need more oil, we need to learn to use energy more efficiently and we need to protect the environment for our children. NO DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE!

Long after mankind is dust, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will go on. Please ensure that it is left to thrive forever. Please support the permanent protection of this special wilderness. There is so little wilderness left and there will come a time when it will be worth more to milliions of people than all the gold and oil in the world. Please support its protection.

Dear Representative, As your constituent, 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). The bill, sponsored by Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-MN), would designate the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as a wilderness area with permanent protections. These permanent protections are especially important for America's remaining polar bears. According to a U.S. Geological Survey report, polar bears will likely be extinct in Alaska in as little as 50 years due to rapidly melting sea ice. The Arctic Refuge is one of the most important onshore denning habitats for these magnificent creatures -- and permanent protections will give them a fighting chance at survival.

Alaska is admired by many people from all around the world. Yet it is treated by the Americans as one treats a ceramic piggy bank with a thousand dollars in it... they break it take the money and throw away the pieces... this disgusts me.

Stop looking for more ways to pollute the planet and add billions to the wallets and purses of the oil companies and start working on green technology. Opening up the last little bits of protected natural wildlife habitat to the destruction and pollution that will ensue if oil drilling is allowed is unacceptable.

The needs of these majestic, beautiful animals must be met quickly. Polar bears are rapidly losing their domain due to the thoughtless and cruel actions of humankind. Please help to reverse this trend now.

Is Bush insane!? Not only is he ruining our country, but he wants to demolish and kill defenseless polar animals with the touch of his evil hand? There are other ways for us to consider, and wise people to access what the people need. We do not need to convert to destroying our lands and homes. Please consider protecting the Arctic Refuge.
