Oppose Palin's Cozy Relationship With Big Oil

Sponsored by: Sierra Club

Since taking office in January 2007, Governor Sarah Palin has shown over and over that she has very little regard for protecting the environment in Alaska.

No one is closer to the oil industry than Governor Palin. Under her leadership, Alaska is suing the federal government for considering listing the Polar Bear as a threatened species even though global warming threatens its very existence. The lawsuit claims that saving the Polar Bear would cripple offshore oil and gas development in the Beaufort and Chukchi Sea, home to some of the only habitat for the bears in the United States.

Palin has also been an adamant supporter of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. To quote Palin, "When I look every day, the big oil company's building is right out there next to me, and it's quite a reminder that we should have mutually beneficial relationships with the oil industry." (Source: Roll Call, 08/25/08)

Over and over, Governor Palin's record shows that she's in the pocket of Big Oil, and that she has demonstrated little interest in protecting iconic wildlife such as the threatened Polar Bear and wild places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Please sign on to say that you oppose Sarah Palin's cozy relationship with Big Oil and the policies on energy and wildlife that she as advocated as Governor of Alaska. Tell Governor Palin to stop the lawsuit filed by Alaska against the Department of the Interior that challenges the ruling that Polar Bears should listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

She has no compassion for any of the earth or its creatures. The woman is a crazy right wing hunting nut in a skirt. She is scary because she has some power, hopefulluy not for long. She is not what Alaska needs but she really knows how to work her looks. Beauty contests help with that I assume. She is all about herself and got a little taste of the big life in Washington. She is hungry for power and will stop at nothing. There is no reason to kill those wolves. The turkey thing was really scary.

Sara Palin is a terrible woman that I don't want anywhere near oil. I hate her, and if she is allowed to befriend him, I'm moving to Canada.

Governor Palin has a reckless disregard for any environmental concerns or endangered species that could possibly interfere with oil drilling. She is ignorant of environmental matters disdainful toward science.

I am always astounded when a woman who in her case is a mother of five finds that harmony with nature is of no consequence, I wonder if her little brood was endangered by oil what action she would take then. To me its pure greed the woman feels powerful and money is her means - well didn't the election just prove that SARAH PALIN should be sent off to boot camp and learn about life before she opens that ignorant mouth of hers again!

If you ruin the enviroment by your actions everyone suffers. As a politician I would think that you would realize that. Maybe the beauty queen doesn't think about enviromental concerns.

Dear Mrs. Palin, please resign and stop talking, your making the rest of humanity look bad.

This is why the republican ticket never stood a chance. Sarah Palin is in bed with big oil companies, and has no respect for wildlife whatsoever. Aerial wolf hunts and drilling in the Alaskan wildlife refuge. She's an animal's worst enemy!
