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 just need to stop all new approvals for oil drilling. You shouldn't have to harm others to get something that you're kinda sure you need right now...but really it's doing more harm to the world than you think. So re-think your decision, please stop. We need to invest in new solutions for oil alternatives. Solar energy maybe?

I support permanent protections for ALL our shorelines and coastal plains. Put all the cost for offshore drilling into research, R & D for alternative energy: with all the determination and resources that went into the "M" project.

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. Thank you.

Polar Bears in the Arctic resemble the proverbial and literal "canary in the coal mine." When they die out, we will soon meet a similar fate. How bad do the effects of Ozone layer disappearance, extreme climate changes due to Global Warming, and other assaults to life on Earth and our habitats have to be destroyed before you contaminators and polluters (profiteers all) stop and start conserving and using alternative sustainable forms of energy???

Doing the right thing might require you to go against special interests and your political party. But, the "right" thing to do is obvious when you look at the big picture and our future.

I understand that the no oil will be available for another 10 years and in 20 years we may save $.02 on our gas price from the oil withdrawn from ANWR. The irreparable damage to this fragile ecosystem is too great a price for basically no gain, except to the oil companies' pockets.

Our country needs to focus on creating and using safe, renewable energy sources rather than destroy the environment by drilling for oil in this region. We are not the only creatures living on this planet, and we need to respect the polar bears' right to survive.
