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.

Its time to protect life on this planet, not kill it. Polar Bear habitat is vital. We are better off finding new fuels, not help old fuels survive and steal peoples money. Call off the sale of Polar Bear habitat. Thank you.

The time's they are a changin'. And soon these continuous outrages will be a thing of the past. And those that practiced the destruction of what we hold dear will be held accountable.

This is clearly a political move. You can't sell off Alaska land days before a bill is voted on to protect this area and protect the polar bears that live on it. Just please, pause, and think about the difference you are making to polar bears and the environment. We shouldn't be selling this land for the profit of oil companies; in fact, we need to be pushing for alternative, renewable sources of energy! Not oil. And on the bottom line, I would hate to have to try and describe to my grandchildren what polar bears were like. Please hear your citizens and think about the consequences of your actions.

New solar technology is on the brink of changing the way we power our homes and office buildings. The Oilies and Bush know this and are attempting to squeeze the last dollar out of the antiquated fossil fuel industry. Change is coming "hold the fort".

Will this administration never stop the ruination of our environment? It is strange to me that the nation seems so concerned about "god" yet does nothing to save the wonderful gift which that deity is supposed to have given us.
