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.

Hasn't oil ruined enough already? Do we have to add the Arctic Refuge to the list? Please give this land permanent protection, look for alternatives to oil. This reserve will run out soon. It is only a TEMPORARY solution that will PERMANENTLY scar land and ecosystem.

Oil drilling is not the answer, it will only increase global warming.

We are killing our planet with emissions from fossil fuels. The technology exists for us to do better, but Congress will not tell the Oil, Gas, other Energy Manufacturers and Automotive industries to bite the bullet and change to save the planet! Save the Arctic Wilderness to protect the wildlife, and the ecosystem, YES - but more importantly, save it from feeding the search for more fossil fuel that's killing our planet!

We need MORE natural spaces and wildlife refuges not fewer.

This has to be done. Please consider the future, not just the present. You are in the position to make the difference the future is counting on.
