After returning from a “fact finding” trip to Alaska and the Rocky
Mountains, House Minority Leader John Boehner and other House Republicans
unveiled yet another drill-everywhere bill on the steps of the Capitol
yesterday.  They were greeted by an equal number of citizens urging them
to move towards a clean energy future, rather than technology of the
past.  Rep. Boehner and other House Republicans were unable to land in
Kaktovik, AK or see the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on their recent
trip to Alaska due to fog.  But it wouldn’t have made any difference --
before leaving, Boehner said he thought they wouldn’t see any wildlife
since it was just an Arctic desert anyway.  Rep. Boehner didn't even have
the courtesy to respond to an invitation from the Gwich'in Nation who
consider the coastal plain of the Refuge "the Sacred Place Where Life
Begins." 
Call your Representative and Senators today to urge them not to bankrupt
the natural legacy of future generations for the short term profits of
Big Oil.  Urge them to oppose the “American Energy Act,” and any other
attempts to open our public lands and waters to Big Oil.  The Capitol
switchboard is 202-224-3121- ask for your Members’ offices by name.
(You can look up your Representative at www.house.gov and your Senators
at www.senate.gov.)
