IMPORTANT PLEASE RESPOND !!! Boxer And Kerry Are Trying So Hard
Edited on Thu Mar-17-05 07:26 PM by PennyMan
Tell the big oil companies to stay out of ANWR!

Dear *****,



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. I offer my heartfelt thanks to the over 29,000 of you who joined with me and signed my petition to Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist, demonstrating our strong opposition to this disastrous policy.


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!

And then invite everyone you know to join us.

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

In Friendship,




Barbara Boxer

Mr. Lee Raymond, ExxonMobil CEO http://www.exxonmobil.com/SiteFlow/SuppInfo/Contacts/SF_CT_BusHeadquarters.asp


Below is the sample letter:

Subject: Stay Out of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!

Dear ,

As you know, current legislation making its way through Congress would open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

I am writing to urge your company to publicly pledge that you will not drill in ANWR.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a God-given gift of pristine wilderness, first set aside by President Dwight Eisenhower more than 40 years ago, and we have a responsibility to preserve it. ANWR is home to more than 150 wildlife species, including caribou, polar bears, musk oxen, and millions of migratory birds.

The American people will not stand idly by and allow this wilderness area to be defiled.

If your company decides to drill in ANWR, we will launch a boycott of your products, and the products of your subsidiaries. And I know that millions of Americans will join us.

I urge you make a public pledge that you will not drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- or face a boycott of your products.

Thank you for your consideration of this critically important matter.

Sincerely,


Tell-A-Friend:
Invite your friends and family to sign Barbara Boxer's ANWR petition today!
Tell-a-Friend!



What's At Stake:


Protecting 19 million acres of pristine Alaska wilderness from oil drilling




Campaign Expiration Date:
June 29, 2005

4. It was up to 400,000 today
-snip-

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. I told you that more than a quarter of a million people signed our Citizens' Roll Call in the first 24 hours after we launched it. Actually the news is even more impressive. As of this moment, there are over 400,000 signers to our Roll Call, including tens of thousands who signed after the vote to express their determination to keep fighting. Let's keep working.

6. A brilliant move by Boxer! I love it! Will do letters!
Reminds me of Velvet Revolution's and John Conyers' deadline for electronic voting machine companies to voluntarily commit to election auditing and verification measures (and I believe that Maxine Waters just endorsed it as well). 60 days (I think we're about half way there.) Then, boycott. Cut them out of all their cushy government, and university, and pension fund,contracts, which they have in addition to controlling the vote count. Porkbarrel galore. AND punish their private business (ATMs, etc.) If they won't agree to a paper ballot and open source code, to hell with them! What are we doing rewarding them for that blatant assault on our democracy?

And with gas stations, we're got them over the barrel, so to speak. Do a reverse gas shortage--turn it around into a shortage of profits! Sweet revenge for the "gas shortage" they pulled in the '70s, and all their price/supply manipulations, and all the horrors they've instigated in the world.

Also, whether they plunder the Alaskan wilderness or not, we will get people thinking in the right direction for dealing with these dark lords who are ruining our country, our democracy and our planet. Get off their grid!

Here's a short and sweet message for webforms:

I would like you to voluntarily and publicly refrain from drilling the Alaska wilderness. If you do not, I will engage in a consumer boycott of your products, a divestiture campaign, and publicity. People are fed up with oil companies' corrupt influence on public policy. Most Americans do not want you to drill in the Alaska wilderness. I urge you to do the right thing!

8. This is fine but we need to generate more renewable/green energy too!
Edited on Thu Mar-17-05 09:09 PM by Bill Bored
See this about Green Certificates:
<http://www.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/buyelectricity/green_certificates.html>
If more of us bought this stuff, we'd use less fossil fuel.
Of course there are other ways too, but I'd assume we all know about the drawbacks of SUVs and incandescent light bulbs (probably the two biggest energy wasters in the world right now).
