Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

The Senate Republicans used underhanded techniques to get the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to corrupt oil and gas interests, by putting the issue into the federal budget. The budget can't be filibustered, apparently, per Senate rules, so after passing the flawed budget the ANWR is apparently open for drilling.

PLEASE click the link above to sign a petition to keep this pristine piece of America's natural heritage free of the pollution of the corrupt oil industry. You can also view a webcam set up by Drexel University that highlights the natural beauty and amazing wildlife that this refuge protects.

There is so little of our natural world that is protected from the stomping of unsustainable energy practices, so please - draw the line in the sand (or snow, in this case) to stop the oil, mining, and timber interests from raping our land more than they already do.
