"No one voted on Election Day to destroy the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
But President Bush (:mad: ) is now claiming a mandate to do exactly that.

Congressional leaders (:mad: ) are pushing for a quick vote that would turn America's
greatest sanctuary for Arctic wildlife into a vast, polluted oil field.

Even worse, they are planning to avoid public debate on this devastating
measure by hiding it in a must-pass budget bill.

The Arctic Refuge is the greatest living reminder that conserving nature in its wild state is a core American value. It stands for every remnant of wilderness that we, as a
people, have wisely chosen to protect from the relentless march of bulldozers,
chain saws and oil rigs.

And that's why the Bush administration (:mad: ) is dead set on destroying it.

By unlocking the Arctic Refuge, they hope to open the door for oil, gas and
coal giants to invade our last and best wild places: our western canyonlands,
our ancient forests, our coastal waters, even our national monuments.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (:mad: ) admitted as much when he said this
battle over the Arctic Refuge is really a fight over whether energy exploration
will be allowed in similarly sensitive areas in the future. "It's about
precedent," Rep. DeLay (:mad: ) said.

Please contact your senators and representative right away and tell them to oppose this sneak attack on the Arctic Refuge. <http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/redfordarctic/action.asp?item=52387&step=2&ms=RRM0501>
