Done in Terragen, environment is blizzard surface. America's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the last remaining pristine and untouched places on Earth. This glittering landscape, often called America's Serengeti, is a haven for an array of wildlife, such as peregrine falcons, polar bears, and the Porcupine Caribou Herd, as well as a sacred place for the Gwich'in people, a nation of the Athabascan Native Americans. When the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was established, the American people thought this would be enough to protect it. Yet funding provisions in the budget bill have put one and a half million acres of the coastal plain, which is the biological heart of the Refuge, at risk of being overtaken by a sprawling industrial complex. A recent poll shows that 73 percent of Americans believe the decision to drill in the Arctic Refuge has no place in the budget reconciliation process. Americans recognize that drilling in the Refuge will neither solve our energy problems nor reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Most of all, Americans believe the Arctic Refuge should be off-limits to oil drilling and industrial development. Any drilling in the Refuge would mean permanent and irreparable harm to wildlife, and would betray our moral responsibility to save wild places like the Arctic Refuge for future generations. The issue of oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge is too important to the American public to be snuck through in the budget bill in an attempt to circumvent the established process. I am a Nature Lover. I have been my entire life. Today People are marching on Congress Today Sept 20 to demand , they do not vote to drill in the refuge. Write to your senators and stop them from voting on this drilling. If they drill now, we will not even see that oil for ten years. It will not help our gas prices. It will hurt our environment forever. And please even if you Do not like my Image Pass this piece along, so that someone else may see it and make up thier own mind and go to thier senator , or even to any website.
