so this won't directly effect snowmobiling but it is not good for the country in general. in fact, if people knew all of the facts, there is no better place on the planet to drill for and produce oil. especially the area they want to drill and and the size of the area they are trying to lock up. i am on sierra club's mailing list (don't worry it was free to sign up) to keep an eye on what the crap the bastards are up to. received this tonight. write a quick email and voice your opinion on ANWR.
Dear Friend,
As Alaskans, we know the true importance of protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as exactly that: a refuge. Right now is the first time US Fish and Wildlife Service is considering to permanently protect the Coastal Plain of the Refuge as wilderness--so we need lots of folks to show up and support this.
Some places are just too extraordinary to drill, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of them. Please testify at the public hearing tomorrow in Anchorage !
Come celebrate the Arctic Refuge before the hearing with an "Arctic Refuge Cultural Celebration" complete with:
- Rap performances by Allison Warden, aka AKU-MATU, an Inupiat Eskimo artist
- Traditional performances by Inupiat and Gwich'in dancing
- Refreshments like caribou soup!
