Help save the Artic wildlife Refuge.
Hidden away in the budget that goes to vote at the end of sept is the rights to drill in the refuge.The bill only passed 214 to 211 the first time around.So there is still hope if we can flip 3 votes.
Congressman Petri of WI is a definite possibility,he has never voted to drill in the refuge,but voted yes for the budget.If enough people let him know we're watching maybe he'll switch.
I know with gas prices high it's easy to say screw the environment,but this drilling will not ease our gas problems anytime soon,if at all.It's just another corporate giveaway.Do we really need to ruin everything in our world?Let's save something for our children and our childrens children.
