URGENT: DESIGNATE THE ARTIC REFUGE as NATIONAL MONUMENT.

[Guest guest]

URGENT, Please Ask President Clinton to designate the

ARTIC REFUGE as a NATIONAL MONUMENT.

 

 

President Clinton will only designate the coastal plain of

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as a National Monument

if he hears from YOU. Your CALL will make the difference.

But time is running out. Congress has not acted on

legislation to provide Wilderness protection to the coastal plain,

and oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge has once again been

inserted into the debate on America's energy policy -- with

pro-drilling arguments that conveniently sidestep the fact that

Arctic oil cannot, in reality, do anything to alleviate current

high oil prices or America's energy needs.

 

The Arctic Refuge needs your help, including all those

who depend on the Refuge -- its tremendous wildlife and the

Gwich'in people. The time to act is now.

 

 

SAMPLE LETTER :

 

Dear President Clinton,

 

In defending the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge two years ago,

you called this spectacular wilderness, " one of the America's great

national treasures. " Now, we need your help again.

 

Big oil interests want to drill in the biological heart of the Refuge.

Experts estimate there's only six months of oil in the Refuge!

Of course, no amount of oil is worth destroying the beauty and

wonder of this amazing place.

 

Mr. President, you have an historic opportunity to protect this

wilderness from oil drilling. Please designate the

coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge as a National Monument --

and Keep the Arctic Wild, for ALL Americans.

 

 

Sincerely,

Name,

Address.
