phone: Senator Gordon Smith 202-224-3121 OSPIRG's website: http://savethearctic.com/arctic.asp?id=42&id4=ES John Kerry's website: http://www.johnkerry.com/RollCall

• Basically, a Senate spending bill has a provision attached to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is one of the last protected arctic areas in the world, home to the Gwich'in people and the world's largest remaining caribou herd whose calving grounds are ready to be sacrificed for six month's oil supply that will take a decade to reach market. Over 2 million Americans have repeatedly indicated their opposition to these repeated efforts to devastate this natural wonder, by guys who never set foot upon these areas but choose to assess exploitive potential so they can slop the intoxicating elixir of power from the public trough.
• It's not too late to save the precious wildlife species that have relied on the Refuge for centuries: 135 bird species from four continents, muskoxen, wolverines, grizzly and polar bears...and the famous Porcupine caribou herd that relies on the area for its essential calving grounds.
• In the last 24 hours we have seen an amazing display of our johnkerry.com community's ability to quickly mobilize - and a passionate outpouring of commitment to the Arctic Refuge. So far, a quarter of a million citizens - more than 260,000 people, have signed our Citizens' Roll Call in support of the Cantwell-Kerry Amendment to prevent the oil drills from invading one of our greatest natural treasures. And you got the attention of the Republicans too. In fact late last night Republican leaders came to the floor of the Senate to complain directly about our Citizens' Roll Call to stop this special interest giveaway. A vote is expected around 1:00 PM EST and floor debate begins at 10:15 AM EST. Call, sign the online petition, tune in and watch live on C-SPAN2.
