June 26, 2008 -- Your Fight the Right-Wing Wacko Links of the Day.

** The Wilderness Society **
The oil industry and its friends in the Monkey King Bush Administration are engaged in a misleading campaign to link today's high gas prices with a last-ditch effort to secure the right to drill in America's last pristine places. They are pushing Congress to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling. We need your help today to stop them.

Drilling the Arctic Refuge will not lower gas prices, but it will cause permanent harm to a fragile Arctic ecosystem and the more than 250 species that depend on it. Tell your Representative and Senators not to sacrifice the Arctic Refuge to Big Oil.

** Natural Resources Defense Council **
In the seven years since the Monkey King Bush and shoot-you-in-the-back Dick Cheney began a "Drill and Spill" rampage worthy of nineteenth century oil barons, the price of oil has skyrocketed 100 dollars and the price of gasoline has more than doubled.

But don't wait for them to admit failure. The White House is too busy exploiting our pain at the gas pump in order to hand Big Oil the ultimate prize: access to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and America's spectacular coastlines.

Their plan is simple and cynical. The President and his Congressional allies will sell America the big lie: If we'd only let the oil giants drill where they want, our problems at the pump will be over.

Tell your Senators and Representative you are not buying it. And tell them now, before they go home for the July 4th break and feel even more heat to sacrifice our natural heritage.

On Sunday, June 29, General Wesley Clark put into perspective what it takes to lead our nation’s military and veterans – the right judgment. In doing so, he pointed out, quite correctly, that Senator old and senile McCain’s honorable and heroic experience does not necessarily qualify him to be commander in chief, if he does not show the right judgment on the major issues of our time.

Sign our petition to General Clark, thanking him for speaking honestly and bluntly at this most important time.
