YOU MUST HELP THEM!!!
In just a few short weeks, Congress will decide the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The final vote to save the nation's greatest wildlife sanctuary from harmful oil drilling is set for September.

As you may recall, in very close votes, the House (by three votes) and the Senate (by five votes) paved the way for drilling in the budget resolution last spring. Now, right after Labor Day, the House and the Senate will each vote on the Budget Reconciliation Bill, the piece of legislation that will officially make drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge legal. Defenders of Wildlife is determined to defeat this bill.

The Arctic Refuge is such a special place because it is home to countless wildlife -- from the great predators like the polar bear to the Porcupine Herd, one of the largest caribou herds in North America. We need to remember that if the Arctic Refuge is industrialized, we will have lost one of our nation's greatest national treasures. Is that the kind of legacy we want to leave our future generations?

Defenders of Wildlife is doing all we can protect the Arctic Refuge from harmful oil drilling. From the halls of Congress, to the editorial pages of our nation's newspapers, to towns across America, and most importantly, with people like you, Defenders is working hard to educate and mobilize citizens about defeating the September Budget Reconciliation bill. Without your help, we can't win this battle!

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Now more than ever, we need people like you to contact their members of Congress and urge that they vote to REJECT the Budget Reconciliation Bill that threatens to legalize drilling in the Arctic Refuge. Please go to www.SaveArcticRefuge.org and send your message TODAY.

Second, please consider joining thousands of Americans in Washington, DC on September 20th as they lobby their Senators and members of Congress to reject the Budget Reconciliation bill that threatens the Arctic Refuge! For more, please visit www.ArcticRefugeAction.com.

Together, we can win this vote and stop the destruction of one of nation's greatest wildlife sanctuaries. Thanks for all of your continued support!

Sincerely,

Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife

Please help them its really important!
