No Offshore Drilling in Polar Bear Habitat!
Target: Interior Secretary Dirk KempthorneSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
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.

Offshore drilling would only increase warming of polar area, and this habitat is already endangered.

Stop the drilling for oil, haven't your government done enough to harm the world. You will be gone soon, so do not be selfish.

It does not take a very high IQ to know that selling offshore drilling leases will cause even more harm to the environment than already exists.
