Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit WildAlert.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The Bush Administration has pulled out all the stops to ramp up oil and gas leasing on public lands, with a target of drilling more than 118,000 new wells within the next two decades.  This accelerated level of drilling could mar upwards of one million acres of our public lands, and some of the places being targeted are irreplaceable for their solitude, wilderness and wildlife habitat. 

 

We can and we must put pressure on the Bush Administration to rescind this misguided plan.  Please use our letter below to send an urgent message to Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne.

You may edit our letter below, then click on "Send this Message."
