Sign Barbara Boxer's Petition: Tell Big Oil to Stay out of ANWR!
http://ga4.org/campaign/boycott/step1.tcl

Tell the big oil companies to stay out of ANWR!

Today, my heart is heavy.  By just two votes, we came up short in our effort to prevent oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, home to over 150 wildlife species.  In the end, over 90% of Senate Democrats voted to stop this madness -- we just didn't have the votes to overcome the Republican majority in the Senate.

But I want you to know that I won't give up in our fight to stop the drilling.  And neither should you.  I'm going to use every legislative tool at my disposal to reverse this vote and prevent this terrible policy from going into effect.  But we can do more -- today.

I'm planning to organize a consumer boycott of any oil company that decides to drill in this pristine Alaskan wilderness area.  If, through our pocketbooks, we can convince these companies to do the right thing, we can still save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from the destruction that would be wrought by the oil drilling rigs.

Send an email to the CEOs of ExxonMobil, BP, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch/Shell, and ChevronTexaco now and tell them to stay out of ANWR!

This battle is not over -- not by a long shot.

1. Another good one to sign - Boxer needs all the support she can get
on this. Even if it seems like a lost cause.

The only way it actually becomes a lost cause is if we give up.
