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.

When are we going to have a national program to develop the widespread use of solar and other alternative energy (NOT nuclear) on the scale of a "Marshall Plan" or Apollo space project?

As an independent voter and thinker, I am fed up with your short-sightedness. Alternative energy sources and much higher gas emission standards are parts of the answer, not drilling in one of our most precious areas, with no short term results and relatively small impact on the problem in the long term.

We need to become less dependent on oil, not just drilling for more with potentially disastrous results.

I want the Arctic Refuge to be permanently protected from oil drilling because our animals are quicky going extinct. We must preserve the little we have left. It is up to us to take care of them.

We must preserve the Wildlife Refuge for future generations. Let the oil drill the millions of acres of permitted spaces both on and offshore before destroying anything else.
