They’re exploiting our armed forces.

The pro-drilling lobby is at it again! And this time they’re exploiting our armed forces.

Your tireless efforts and the refusal of some principled lawmakers to allow oil companies to destroy one of our last, great wild places has so far kept Arctic drilling out of the budget reconciliation act. Now the drilling lobby is trying to slip a provision that would allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge into the defense appropriations bill.

It’s a dirty trick, and we can’t let them get away with it. Call your Senators right now to stop Big Oil's war on Arctic wildlife! https://secure2.convio.net/dow/site/Advocacy?alertId=255&pg=makeACall&JServSessionIdr005=7s07znmak1.app27a

It’s shameless to exploit support for our troops for the sake of oil companies’ profits. It’s even worse that the pro-drilling forces in Congress would do so for the sake of drilling that would save Americans no more than a penny on a gallon of gas -- twenty years from now.

It wouldn’t save Americans much money, but drilling would destroy one of our greatest wildlife sanctuaries. Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling would ruin millions of acres of pristine habitat and threaten polar bears, caribou, and the Refuge’s other treasured creatures.

We have only a little time left to save this special place and the creatures that live there.

The next 24 hours will be decisive, so please call right now.

We have to spread the word to stop the sneak attack. After you call your Senators, forward this message to anyone you know who cares about saving our wildlife and hates dirty tricks!

Our arctic wildlife is counting on you, but you haven’t let them down so far. As always, thanks for all you do to protect our treasured wildlife!

Sincerely,


Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife
