House Republicans Tom Delay (R-TX) and Richard Pombo (R-CA) are exploiting public fears over high gas prices to pass a bill that would permit drilling in the Arctic Refuge! We expect a vote tomorrow and we need your help right now.

These Representatives are out of touch with the American public and certainly beholden to the oil industry. According to a recent Zogby poll, only 14% of the public thinks drilling will solve high gas prices.

This vote is a political move that would not reduce our oil dependence. We should be conserving and promoting alternative energy research, not destroying the last of our pristine wildernesses! Contact your Representative today and tell them that you are one of the many Americans who oppose this senseless policy!
