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!

Those creatures and our oceans were put on this planet for a reason, not to destroy and harm. They need to live, they are as important as us. Plese, think about what you are doing, and stop!
