>Dear NRDC Action Fund Supporter,
>
>The budget fight over oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 
>is
>heating up, and Representative Jim Nussle from Iowa has the power to 
>determine
>the outcome.
>
>The U.S. Senate has already voted for a budget that would open the Arctic
>Refuge to oil drilling. But Representative Nussle, who is chair of the 
>House
>Budget Committee, has kept Arctic drilling out of the House version of the
>budget.
>
>With Congress about to negotiate the final budget, it is crucial that
>Representative Nussle stand his ground. Because Representative Nussle is
>running for governor he is paying special attention to the views of all 
>Iowans.
>And he urgently needs to hear from pro-environment Iowans like you.
>
>Please take one minute to place a single phone call that could help us save
>America's greatest sanctuary for Arctic wildlife.
>
>Call Representative Nussle's office at (800) 927-5212. Thank him for 
>fighting
>to keep Arctic drilling out of the budget, and urge him to stand firm in 
>his
>position when Congress negotiates the final budget in the next few weeks.
>
>If you've never called a congressional office before, you'll be amazed how 
>easy
>it is. The representative's aides will be glad to register your opinion, 
>and
>phone calls have a very big impact.
>
>After you place the call, please let us know you've done so by replying to 
>this
>email. That will help us keep track of the calls we're generating to
>Representative Nussle's office.
>
>You can also go to http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/rmNussle.asp (Real Media) 
>or
>http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/wvxNussle.asp (Windows Media) to hear the 
>hard-
>hitting radio ads we are running in Iowa right now to mobilize public 
>support
>for the Arctic Refuge.
>
>You can help generate even more phone calls to Representative Nussle by
>forwarding this message to as many friends, colleagues and family members 
>in
>Iowa as you possibly can.
>
>Remember: the fate of the Arctic Refuge could be decided by Iowa! Please 
>place
>your call right away. And thank you for taking action at this critical 
>time.

>Sincerely,
