US Government Bill Jeopardizes Artic Wildlife

Big Oil is raking in record profits, and a new bill on the Senate calendar will give them even more while also destroying the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

With awareness of global warming reaching new heights as polar bears drown and tropical diseases like malaria move further north, Big Oil should be last in line when it comes to government handouts. Yet, if the House's so-called "American-Made Energy and Good Jobs Act" passes in the Senate, we'll be helping ExxonMobil while leaving the Arctic Refuge in a pool of oil, and the rest of America in a cloud of exhaust.

Tell your Senator to oppose any attempt to drill in the Arctic Refuge, and to start supporting technologies that protect our air, water, and wildlife and decrease our reliance on oil:
Help stop this bill that will give Big Oil even more handouts.

When I think about a poor polar bear swimming out to sea and eventually drowning because the ice is no longer where it's supposed to be, I feel sick. I feel sicker still knowing that our elected officials could actually vote to make the problem worse by allowing Refuge drilling.
