here goes the administration and sierra club again. just received this from the mailing list i'm on to keep an eye on these douche bags. it sure would be nice if we could get a bunch of people to show and voice against the designation. at least write an email.
Dear Friend,
As Alaskans, we know the true importance of protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as exactly that: a refuge. Right now is the first time US Fish and Wildlife Service is considering to permanently protect the Coastal Plain of the Refuge as wilderness--so we need lots of folks to show up and support this.
Some places are just too extraordinary to drill, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of them. Please testify at the public hearing tomorrow in Anchorage !
Come celebrate the Arctic Refuge before the hearing with an "Arctic Refuge Cultural Celebration" complete with:
- Rap performances by Allison Warden, aka AKU-MATU, an Inupiat Eskimo artist
- Traditional performances by Inupiat and Gwich'in dancing
- Refreshments like caribou soup!
