Tell Congress to Resist Calls for Drilling
Sponsored by: Save Our Environment
Anti-environmentalists in Congress are adding amendments to every bill they can get their hands on, calling for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, many offshore areas and other sensitive regions - even to bills that aren't remotely related to energy!
Drilling is NOT the answer to our energy crisis. Drilling in the Arctic and off our beaches will only perpetuate our dependence on dirty fossil fuels and slow progress toward a clean energy future.
Tell your members of Congress that we must pursue clean, renewable energy alternatives.

Getting drilled on at the dentist is the worst part of the whole experience. Stop drilling on the earth. It is causing damage and who knows what else? It wouldn't matter to me if we lost all the oil, then we wouldn't have smelly, polluting cars that break down all the time and we could just go back to walking which is a lot safer. It is good for the body and it is good for the earth, what more can you ask for?

Is harming the environment something we will do to lower gas prices? We can all find alternate sources of energy to use. What will we do when the oil is all gon e on earth.

Start moving toward alternative energy instead of drilling. Drill baby drill is the chant of morons. The oil companies have become too greedy. They have making record profits and destroying our enviorment and show no concern for the future of our planet. STOP DRILLING AND START WORKING MORE ON CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY!

Dear U.S. Congressperson, Recently there has been an increase in the number of drilling amendments added to bills in an attempt to solve our nation's energy crisis. Perpetuating our dependence on dirty fossil fuels will not solve our energy problems. I am writing you today to urge you to resist such amendments and instead promote clean, renewable energy. Oil companies already have permission to drill on more than 41 million acres, yet now they are working to get the long-standing ban on offshore drilling lifted. As it is, oil and gas companies are only using 18 percent of these leases to which they already have access to drill. Proposing new areas to drill when companies are not drilling everywhere they have permission to underscores the immense greed of the energy industry. Sincerely, MaryEllen Raths

Consider drilling our earth like getting teeth drilled at the dentist. Keep drilling, drilling, drilling, and soon you'll have nothing left. Think about what you're doing and tell Oil companies NO!
