Hundreds protest drilling in arctic refuge (Anchorage)
September 21, 2005, 1:49 PM EDT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Hundreds rallied outside the Capitol in Washington to protest oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as part of a weeklong lobbying effort by environmental groups.

Politicians and protesters from across the country joined a contingent of Alaskans at the rally on the west lawn of the Capitol.

Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut ... said the goal is "yes, to protect ANWR, but beyond that, to break this great nation of an addiction."

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., encouraged the crowd to pressure members of Congress in their home states who support drilling. <snip>
