Take Action: Tell Congress You Don't Buy the Lie!

Tell Congress You Don't Buy the Lie!

President Bush and Big Oil's allies in Congress are trying to persuade the public that opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and America's coastlines to oil drilling will lower gas prices. That's a lie! This land grab will boost profits for the oil giants and despoil our natural heritage, but it will do nothing to ease our pain at the pump.

Tell your Senators and Representative you're not buying the lie!

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

(Edit Letter Below)

I am not buying the lie, promoted by President Bush, that sacrificing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and America's coastal waters to oil drilling would make a real difference in gas prices -- either today or twenty years from today! I oppose any legislation that would remove the ban on oil development in these treasured places.

With just three percent of the world's oil reserves, our nation simply doesn't have enough oil to impact the global market or drill our way to lower prices at the pump. Putting rigs in the Arctic Refuge and off our spectacular coastlines would certainly boost oil company profits, but it would impoverish our natural heritage and deepen our already destructive dependence on oil.

We deserve real solutions to high energy prices -- not gimmicks and land grabs. Please support legislation that will help our nation kick the oil habit and usher in a cleaner, greener energy future. I urge you to promote measures that will make our vehicles far more fuel efficient, put millions of plug-in hybrids on the road and connect them to a cleaner electric grid, dramatically boost our reliance on renewables like wind and solar, and limit America's global warming pollution in order to spur innovation in energy technologies.

President Bush's "Drill It All" policies and his rejection of cleaner alternatives have gotten us into this mess. They will not get us out. Please take bold action that will move America beyond oil and into a more sustainable energy future.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
