No Offshore Drilling in Polar Bear Habitat!
Target: Interior Secretary Dirk KempthorneSponsored by: DoWAF
It's no secret that polar bears are in trouble. Global warming and habitat loss are driving these majestic animals to the brink of extinction.
Yet even as the government's own scientists have acknowledged these threats, the Bush/Cheney Administration has just announced oil and gas exploration plans that would disturb essential polar bear habitat and fuel America's dependence on fossil fuels that cause global warming.
Sign our petition to urge Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to delay the planned February 6th sale of oil and gas drilling rights in the Chukchi Sea until the impact on the area's polar bears can be adequately determined.

The oil there is marginal in relation to the impact on the environment and polar bears. Stop this sale!

If as much effort were being put into renewable energy sources as is being put into find ways to do more drilling, we might be well on our way to oil independence.

This is completely irresponsible. The polar bear habitat - the shrinking polar bear habitat - should not be disturbed for this or any other reason.

Mr. Kempthrone - please uphold the Endangered Species Act and protect the polar bears! Drilling will only destroy their future and eventually our future. This is your responsibility Interior Secretary to deny the sale of offshore drilling rights!

We are not going to have to worry about petitions to save polar bears,because there will be none left if we human beings do not get our acts together.

You've got to be kidding! The arctic wildlife have to deal with enough adversity as it is. Let's not create more havoc for the species that are still remaining.
