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!

Stop destroying our world! We live here too. The world is not only for rich oil tycoons, it's for every human plant and animal to live in harmony.

at one point, we needed to look beyond our current energy sources on land, so we turned to newer tech. which showed us we could get oil by drilling off shore. lets use that same thinking to reduce the need for oil and the demand for greener tech.

we need to learn from our past mistakes and start making decisions that will leave this world pristine and beautiful for our future generations. if this bill passes, who knows how many more different species your grand children will be only able to see as stuffed specimans in a museaum!

We have a small window of oppotunity to make a change. We need accept the fact that the days of fossil fuels are over, and instead of delaying the inevitable lets prepare! alternative energy sources will secure the future of us, our children and this amazing world. We need to speak for those who cant speak for themselves...the animals and mother earth.
