Tell Bush/Cheney Administration: Stop Offshore Oil Drilling!
Target: Secretary of the Interior Dirk KempthorneSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
Officials in the Bush/Cheney Interior Department intend to allow harmful new drilling in tens of millions of environmentally sensitive acres off the coast of Alaska, including an area closed to drilling after the disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. Federal officials have also proposed new drilling leases off the coasts of Florida and Virginia.
These areas are teeming with wildlife, including imperiled whales, sea otters and sea turtles. New drilling could destroy these important coastal ecosystems and the wildlife and tourist economies that depend on them.
We need thousands of concerned conservationists to demand that the administration rescind this destructive proposal immediately. Sign this petition today to urge Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne to stop trying to hand over our coasts to Big Oil!

Don't know if you believe in prophecy, but native american elders prophesied that whatever happens to the animals will be a sign of what will happen to man. We all live together in this world. I oppose offshore drilling, there must be other options to the oil problem America has. Find other ways to fuel the needs of this country.

The heating of the oceans by oil drilling cannot be permitted. When one specie is threated or extinct...all are threatened. We already are advised as to which fish have mercury, lead, pcbs....Guess Cheney and Bush will have to eat grains and tofu.

The fish and mammals in our oceans are already disappearing at an alarming rate. We need to reverse that process, not accellerate it with more ocean drilling.

It is time to look for alterntive fuels. This should have been done decades ago.

I'm opposed to our government's continuing efforts to carry water for the energy industry. The environment must count for something too! Let's make energy efficiency and renewables top priorities!
