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.

The oil obtained from areas like these will not impact our global energy needs as expected. Please spend my taxpayer dollars on solar energy solutions! I demand it.

We as stewards of this Earth need to protect that which God has blessed us with ... He has also given us the ability to design alternative methods to drilling, and the means to cut back on exploitation.

There is plenty of natural gas and Oil on the shelf there no reason to damage and destroy this refuge short of a real national emergency...and if we lifted the ban on Industrial Hemp we'd be much better off and could get bio-diesel and ethanol from it and create even more jobs...! We must develop renewable and alternate energy...diversity is key to national security...! TJ

Dear John Garamendi: 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. view more Drilling and the transportation and infrastructure needed to support it could wreak havoc on polar bears and the habitat they need to survive. There are around 400 crude oil and toxic spills every year at the Prudhoe oil field, just 30 miles west of the Arctic Refuge. I strongly urge you to reject any new attempts to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife. I also strongly urge you to support legislation to permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Only a "wilderness" designation will stop the relentless efforts to drill in this special place and focus on real energy solutions like energy efficiency and the development of clean, renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments. I eagerly await your response. Sincerely, Maria Arce

For God sakes, we have to have SOME decency left for the the animals of this planet. We as human beings need to respect the rights of animals and this includes all animals especially polar bears. enough of this drilling.. The earth will not let this go on indefintely. If we let polar bears go extinct, we are ourselves are in danger..
