Urge Congress to Permanently Protect the Arctic Refuge!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is home to caribou, snow fox and millions of migratory birds. It is also the most important onshore denning habitat for America's vanishing polar bears.
But this natural treasure is constantly under siege. Time and time again, the oil industry and their allies in Congress have sought to open this special place to harmful new drilling, threatening all of the wildlife that depend on it for survival.
We need to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge! Tell Congress to reject drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and to permanently protect this special coastal plain.

This environment is critical to animals as well as human beings, so protect those precious animals and life in general.

Drilling in the Arctic Refuge is only a temporary method of easing the energy crisis. Mandate the switch to alternative energy by providing incentives to businesses and homes for green technology. PS. I vote.

We've already done too much damage to the planet because we are selfish. It is time now to think of the other life forms that live here too. These animals are losing their homes and lives because we want things easier for us.

Dear Congressman Arcuri, As your constituent, I am writing today to strongly urge you to reject attempts to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and ensure that this special place is protected permanently. The Arctic Refuge is not only home to caribou, snow fox and millions of migratory birds, it is also one of the most important onshore denning habitats for America's remaining polar bears. These magnificent animals are struggling for survival with scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey warning that America's polar bears could be extinct by 2050. The Fish & Wildlife Service recently listed America's struggling polar bears as "threatened" on the Endangered Species List. If drilling -- and the development that comes with it -- is permitted in this important habitat, polar bears may abandon their dens, leaving cubs to die. sincerely, Donna Scott Lansing, NY

The ecosystem of the arctic does not need to be ravaged by an uncaring and greddy public. There is more than enough room for man and his destructive ways in the continental us!

If we keep on doing this we will never stop our dependence on oil. Countless water wildlife have been devastated by oil slicks and oil spills like Exxon Valdees in Alaska. Wind and water power are viable alternatives and naturally in tune with Mother Nature and thereby human nature. Act now before these beautiful white creatures vanish before our eyes. Please.

There is no sane reason to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It would cost an insane amount and there is not enough oil to make it worth the effort. Let's give distillers incentives to build plants to make alcohol. It burns clean, distilling technology has been around for centuries and it can be made from anything. It would be a closed-loop---farmers grow the grain, which would be made into alcohol and then more grain would be needed for making more alcohol. But once the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is ruined, it can't be made pristine again.
