Tell Bush/Cheney Administration: Stop Offshore Oil Drilling!
Target: Secretary of the Interior Dirk KempthorneSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
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!

it is time to use the resources you have at hand, to find sources of fuel that do not undermine the rest of the ecosystem. open your eyes and hearts to the reality of the consequences of your choices

Instead of endangering more wild life why not sing a bill that lowers prices and our demand for oil. When the companies are making world records in profit something needs to be done to get their hands out of the goverment and this is a good step.

It is way past time to focus on other sources of energy. We have destroyed way too much of our environment with offshore drilling and it's time to stop!

My gosh, what is it going to take for the current administration to listen to the American public and act in our best interest instead of their own financial ones??? I am so weary of a government that seems to be against its own citizens, rather than a government that is theoretically supposed to be "by the people, for the people, and of the people." I feel that impeachment proceedings should have been started against the current administration way before now. It is very sad and discouraging to me.

Look for alternative fuels rather than continue this mindless exploitation of fossil fuels which will inevitably run out.

Stop destroying the Earth for profit! Please think beyond today, to the seventh generation. What will be left then if we continue the rape and pillage?
