Urge Congress to Permanently Protect the Arctic Refuge!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
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.
And now President Bush has called for drilling in the Arctic Refuge by 2010 in his new budget proposal!
We need to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge! Urge your Representative to support the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act (H.R. 39) to permanently protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Oil drilling is useless! don't you realize that pretty soon all cars wont even run off gas? Don't you realize how many homes you are destroying for families? Animals have every right to live! And due to this huge global warming epidemic dont you think it would be a good idea to stop spending millions on oil, and start spending millions on saving our planet?

There are other alternatives and better methods. Stop the greed among all politicians who have their hands in the oil industry.

Polar bears are endangered species. The will suffer tremendously as a cost of the oil drillings. Find somewhere else. Somewhere where you can't hurt any species!

The polar bears are going to suffer because of the oil changes that will affect their environment if the drilling starts.
# 70,812:
It is time to fully protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, permanently. Please support HR 39. Please sponsor other bills that invest in renewables...its the only choice for our survival.

Don't let Bush do this.
# 70,809:
Arctic oil is only a short term patch--not worth the demise of the polar bears. We need to increase mileage efficiency requirements and develop alternative sources--not food based.
