Stop the drilling in the Arctic Refuge!

artic2.jpg

Last week, the Senate Budget Committee caved in to special interest groups and passed a budget resolution that includes a provision designed exclusively to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The entire Senate will vote on this resolution as early as Thursday! Last December, the Arctic drilling was blocked by generating tens of thousands of phone calls to Capitol Hill. It's time to do it again!

Please call your Senators right now:

Senator Kay Hutchison: (202) 224-5922
Senator John Cornyn: (202) 224-2934

From the Natural Resources Defense Council:

Tell them to:

"Vote NO on the budget because it's bad for the Arctic Refuge, bad for the environment, and bad for the American people. Vote YES on any amendment to strip Arctic drilling from this budget bill."

Those outside of Texas can locate their Senator here.
