Call your Representative to Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Again!
Despite the Senate's 52-48 bipartisan rejection of Arctic drilling on March 19, the House has attached a provision to the upcoming energy bill that will open the Coastal
Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil
and gas drilling unless an amendment is passed to strike
it down.

We can't be sure which
day the vote will come, but House leaders have vowed
to pass an energy bill before they leave for their
spring recess April 11. Two years ago, the House narrowly
approved an energy bill that would have opened the
Arctic to drilling. We expect the vote to be very close
again, so we can't afford to take even
a single vote for granted. PLEASE CALL TODAY!
HOW THE SENATE VOTED ON MARCH 19, 2003: The Senate voted to NOT include Arctic drilling in the Federal Budget 52 to 48. As the League of Conservation Voters put it, "The vote was so close that Vice President Dick Cheney broke out
of his undisclosed location to be the potential anti-environment tie
breaking vote--but in the end, the wilderness prevailed."
