I have people calling me who want to get politically active. Many in our
group are concerned about drilling in the Arctic and one woman especially,
concerned that the bill passed the House, is willing to spearhead a campaign
to alert the public and muster support opposing the bill's passage.  She
singularly, on her own volition, confronted Senator Grassley with a placard
saying "No to drilling in the Arctic" when he came through Fairfield last
week.

Senator's Grassley's reply to her was that the drilling would just take 2
thousand of the 19 thousand acres, ia sure incication he plans to vote in
favor of drilling. No big surprise there.

Does anybody know what the status of this bill will be when the Senate
reconvenes? Should this be a high priority now?  I don't want our members to
waste a lot of energy when it could be put to better use.  What are the
chances this bill will pass in the Senate?

Anybody want to venture an answer to another question--"What are the most
effective methods of activism?"


Feedback, please! Thank you
