SAVE THE ARCTIC REFUGE FROMOIL DRILLINGACTION
DEADLINE: March 8, 2005
THE ISSUE: Pressure continues to build to open the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the onslaught of energy development. In the next two weeks, some members of Congress plan to push to include revenues from drilling in the refuge in the fiscal year 2006 budget bill, which would make it almost certain that Congress would authorize development. At the same time, some in Congress are working to include drilling in the refuge in national energy legislation. Now is the time to oppose these attempts to open the refuge and to urge instead that Congress make the refuge off limits to drilling by designating part of it as wilderness.
Learn more and send a letter to your members of Congress.
