John,

No cell phone service. No roads. No roaring engines. And the only trails you'll find are the tracks of wandering caribou, bears, wolverines and muskox.1

The Arctic Wildlife Refuge is about as close to untouched wilderness as it gets.

And yet a new proposal in Congress would change all that -- by opening this pristine wildlife habitat to oil drilling.

Tell your U.S. senators: Keep oil drilling out of the Arctic Refuge.

There's something special about the Arctic Refuge. Tucked into the northeastern corner of Alaska, it provides a home for all three North American bears (brown, black and polar), and it's a migration haven for birds from all 50 states.2

But for decades, advocates for oil drilling have been eager to tear up this unique landscape just to produce more fossil fuels.

And Congress is considering a proposal that would require new oil leasing in the refuge. We can't let that happen.

The Arctic Refuge -- and the creatures that call it home -- need our help. Send your message to your U.S. senators urging them not to allow drilling in the Arctic Refuge.

We know where the true value of the Arctic Refuge lies.

Not in what little oil can be squeezed from its ground. But in the millions of baby birds that hatch from its trees. In its roaming caribou herds and lone muskox who nuzzle through the snow in search for food.

These irreplaceable values are what we'll lose forever if we allow oil companies to tear apart the refuge for a little more fossil fuels.

Send your message: No oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge.

Thank you for joining our call for action,

Ellen Montgomery
