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.

The Arctic belongs to everyone, it belongs to the world. It is a natural treasure and it deserves being protected from those who want to exploit and destroy such beauty.

This needs to be stopped! Drill in Mexico where there is plenty of oil!

Let's use less gasoline by urging citizens to streamline their driving lifestyles instead of needing more fossil fuel. I am against destroying our few remaining frontiers while we continue to live very wasteful lives.

We need to become self sufficent, so that we don't have to go to war just to have or defend oil, we have plenty of oil in the US that will not hurt the Artic region and wildlife that is in danger, we will never be able to recover this wonder enviroment we need eco-friendly fuel.

Furthermore, we just don't have the technology now to drill without harming that fragile environment. Sometime in the future, we may be able to tap this oil from the Prudhoe area. Why should we go in now? Call it part of our Strategic Reserve until the day we develop really safe techniques. Haven't American taxpayers given enough to the oil corporations? I say it's time we stopped pandering to their greed. Let them use their windfall profits to develop energy production with a smaller pollution factor.

It's time to get away from oil. What resources that are available to us needs to be used to develop alternative sources of energy.

We don't need more oil especially from the arctic area, enough damage has been done with the global warming. What we need is an alternative to oil!!!!

We have no business destroying the arctic refuge to exploit a resource that we shouldn't be using anyway. We must protect the environment. Rather than drilling for more oil, we should invest that money into alternative energy resources.

I do not see any long term gain or solution to our dependancy on oil and gas to justify the long term cost of thedamage done to this fragile eco system. The solution is in ALTERNATIVE AND RENEWABLE energy sources not permanent destruction of this planet. i IMPLORE YOU TO NOT ALLOW DRILLING IN THE ARTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE.
