[PAA-Discuss] Protect Our Best Lands from Unnecessary Oil and Gas Drilling

[Juli Kring]

Hi, 

The oil industry has had its sights on the Arctic Refuge ever
since President Bush has taken office. Now that gas prices are
sky-high and consumers are suffering, Industry is trying to link
drilling in the incomparable Refuge to lower gas prices. There
is no such connection. Drilling in the Arctic Refuge wouldn't
produce oil for years, and would have almost no effect on the
price we pay at the pump a decade or more from now. 

Please join me in telling Congress to keep the Arctic Refuge
safe. Previous generations have chosen to protect the Refuge.
Our generation mustn't be the one to sacrifice this area. As
Aldo Leopold, the great conservationist, wrote in the 1940s,
"Having to squeeze the last drop of utility out of the land has
the same desperate finality as having to chop up the furniture
to keep warm."
