President Obama is deciding whether  or not to open up even more of the 
Arctic for drilling with a new  round of lease sales.

 (http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=xNFHu4i1koiecBjiMEWLQw) 

This lease sale will start any day  now. Tell the president to follow 
through  on the climate promise he delivered in his speech and cancel the  sale.

Right now, President Obama is  considering whether or not to open up more 
of the Alaskan Arctic for oil  drilling by launching a new round of lease 
sales for the Chukchi Sea.  

Despite Shell's failures last summer, oil companies are  desperate to 
secure the rights to drill in the Arctic. What's at stake  here isn't just one of 
the most beautiful, unspoiled places on earth.  But the future of our 
climate. 

We have a real chance to  throw a wrench in this Arctic lease sale process 
before it even  begins. It's expected to start any day, so the time is now 
to  flood the White House with messages telling them to cancel the sale.  It’
s the perfect opportunity for the President to make good on the  climate 
speech he made just a few weeks ago. 

This Arctic lease sale will start any day  now. _Send an  urgent message to 
President Obama right now telling him to cancel plans  for the upcoming 
Arctic lease  sale._ (http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=Z-6o58VQ1ObtPI3crIZmYQ) 

Last year Shell confirmed what  experts have been saying all along — that 
drilling for oil in the  Arctic will never be safe. A series of equipment, 
permit and  weather related mishaps along with general incompetence caused the 
 company to pack up and postpone its plans to drill.   

There’s more at stake here than just the Arctic. Allowing  companies like 
Shell to drill in the Arctic only deepens our dependence  on fossil fuels and 
speeds up dangerous global climate change.  

If the President is truly committed to limiting US carbon  emissions, he 
will cancel this lease sale. This is his chance to  back up his inspiring 
promise to address climate change with real action  on the issue.

_Tell  President Obama that we can’t stop global climate change by opening 
up  more of the Arctic for oil drilling. _

A few  weeks ago President Obama made a promise to the American people:  "I 
refuse to condemn your generation and future generations  to a planet that’
s beyond fixing".

We do not need  to drill for Arctic oil. Wind and solar energy are becoming 
cheaper and  more viable than fossil fuels by the day. And the people who 
are living  in the polluted shadow of coal fired power plants and other 
dangerous  fossil fuel projects are fighting back. Our climate movement is 
stronger  than ever. 

We need to make sure President Obama keeps his  climate promise by opposing 
this lease sale and every other fossil fuel  project including the Keystone 
XL pipeline that will only make this  problem worse. 

I want to be part of the generation that  acted. I want our kids and 
grandkids to look back and be proud  of all we accomplished. Fossil fuels played 
their part in helping to  build our society, but their time is over. 

_Clean energy is  here right now. We don’t need this oil. The climate can’
t afford it.  Join me today in opposing this new round of Arctic lease sales 
by taking  action._ 
(http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=gVmA7atxhFWqQDu9VUyNrg) 

The clean energy revolution has started. We  can do this. Our movement is 
stronger than ever before, and now we have  the President on our side.

Sincerely,

Nicky  Davies
Greenpeace Campaigns Director

P.S. The Arctic lease sale could start any day  now. _Send  President Obama
