Today is the deadline for signing up for a free lunch and media training.  This is an opportunity to learn how to fight for Alaska Wilderness from Iowa.  There is more pressure than ever to drill in prime waterfowl habitat, prime migration routes, and prime polar bear denning areas.  It will take all of us  to save our best places.
