Tell Congress: Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife

This is it: the most important vote to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will take place in September - and we need your signature today.

The showdown vote to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- America's greatest wildlife sanctuary -- will occur in both the House and Senate in mid-September. A provision to open the Refuge to drilling is expected to be buried in the massive Budget Reconciliation Bill.

Please sign this petition to your Senators and Representative today to urge a vote against the Budget Reconciliation bill! The stakes for the Arctic Refuge have never been higher.

Dear Senator/Representative,

This is it! The most important vote to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will be upon you in September!

As your constituent, I urge you to vote against the budget reconciliation package if it allows oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Demand a clean budget bill that doesn't include a sneak attack on our nation's most pristine wilderness!

Drilling in the Arctic Refuge is not a path to energy independence or lower prices at the pump. Meanwhile, the harm to wildlife and to our greatest wildlife refuge would be irreparable. We need to save national treasures like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for future generations.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

We signed the “Tell Congress: Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge” petition!

Please do not destroy one of our last remaining almost totally untouched REFUGE! What a disgrace our government is when all that is important is making a buck! I oppose drilling in our Artic Refuge and will sign every petition I can to hopefully open your eyes to the destruction and devastation this will cause to one of our last remaining natural refuges that we have left in this country!

This should not happen because it is like taking a gun to the refuge and shooting all of the animals because your putting many contaminates in the air if you allow the drilling to happen

THE ALASKAN PIPELINE WHICH BUSH GAVE TO BP IS HEMORAGING BADLY. BUSH WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL ALL WILD LANDS ARE DESTROYED AS HE PROFITS. WE AMERICANS INSIST THAT OUR TREASURED LANDS BE PROTECTED NOT EXPLOITED AND ABUSED. THIS IS OUR AMERICA!

I oppose all oil drilling because it ruins the natural wildlife habitat. Keep it clean and pristine.

The complete and inevitable destruction of a wildlife refuge is certainly not worth a few months worth of oil for the United States. Lets look into clean sources of energy and stop drilling holes in our precious earth. We must stop dominating wildlife to fulfill our own selfish agenda.
