** The Wilderness Society **
The Monkey King Bush and the oil and gas industry have renewed calls to open up the Arctic Refuge and other protected American lands to drilling. They are suggesting that more drilling will lower gas prices.
Want to know the truth? We are already drilling like crazy without lowering gas prices.
Right now, America contains more operating drilling rigs than the entire rest of the world. Of the 44 million acres currently leased for oil and gas development, more than 30 million acres have not been used by the oil and gas industry.
Let Congress know that you won't fall for the Bush administration's fear tactics.
Speak out against irresponsible drilling in our most cherished and fragile wild places.

FOX: Stop the smears
FOX has really gone over the line this past month--using racism, prejudice, and fear to smear Barack Obama. Each time they apologize--then they do it again.
First, a paid FOX commentator accidentally confused "Obama" with "Osama" and then joked on the air about killing Obama. Next, a FOX anchor said a playful fist pound by Barack and Michelle Obama could be a "terrorist fist jab." And then, FOX called Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama"--slang used to describe the unmarried mother of a man's child.
FOX won't stop until it becomes too painful to continue--until the public calls them out and advertisers start getting worried. Nearly 100,000 Americans have already expressed their outrage. Can you express yours by adding your name to his message?
