Oppose Arctic Drilling as a Narrowminded Solution

In the wake of Katrina, there have been increased calls for drilling for more oil (presumably in Alaska but perhaps also elsewhere). Instead of looking to destroy more of the precious resources on the planet, why not use the technology that we already have? We have effective hybrid cars, solar power, wind power, and so many other alternatives. Certainly, we can increase production and sales of all of these things as fast as we could produce oil from arctic drilling.

Here is a link that will automatically send letters to President Bush and your state reps. The letter was written by a group of faith, but if you are not a person of faith, you can simply change the opening line and the line in the third paragraph that mention god.

Here is the link.

Also, when you have sent the letter elctronically, they will offer to give you the letters in print format. Simply click the ok button and print them out...they're already preaddressed and formatted. Just sign, address the envelope, and mail away. In about 5 minutes you will have taken action. Please do so.
