DO IT CALL Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Drilling Vote -Thursday, April 28

04/28/2005

The following message and request for phoning your legislators comes
from Flo Sandok:

It’s make or break for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  Congress
is prepared to vote on a final Federal Budget Resolution which could
include a controversial provision to open the Arctic Refuge to oil
drilling.

Proponents of opening the Refuge to drilling could insert an assumption
of revenues from lease sales in the Arctic in the Budget Resolution—a
tactic that limits debate and amendment.  Our lawmakers should not use
the budget process to allow oil drilling in one of our nation’s last
great wilderness areas.

***The vote on the budget will likely be this THURSDAY (4/28), so call
your senators/representatives TODAY*** Tell them to VOTE AGAINST A
BUDGET THAT INCLUDES ARCTIC REFUGE DRILLING!!!
