Subject: Bringing the Arctic Refuge into homes across America
Dear NRDC Earth Activist,
With the U.S. Senate heading for a showdown vote on the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge, I wish I could sit down with you and other supporters to
explain the enormous challenge we face over the next six weeks.
Since I can't do that, I've done the next best thing and recorded a short
video message about the critical situation at hand. I hope you'll watch this
two-minute video right away.
Then I need you to take an extra step to save the Arctic Refuge by passing
this video on to your friends and colleagues. They need to know that drilling
the Arctic -- and destroying our natural heritage -- will not save us money at
the pump or make us more secure.
Our goal: to reach into homes across America over the next two weeks, so
that when the make-or-break vote comes after Labor Day, we can spring into
action one million strong and defeat Big Oil's agenda.

We've got no time to lose.
The House recently passed the so-called "American-Made Energy and Good Jobs
Act" (H.R. 5429), which would stuff the oil companies' already bloated
coffers with billions more in profits.
And it would destroy the Arctic Refuge for the sake of oil that won't make
a dent in gas prices or wean us off Persian Gulf oil.
A version of this Arctic wildlife destruction bill is now headed for a vote in
the U.S. Senate sometime in September. Please help us mobilize one million
Americans to stop this bill in its tracks.

I know how many times you've helped us block President Bush's relentless
drive to destroy the Arctic Refuge.
But the political reality is this: the White House can afford to lose this
fight repeatedly. But we cannot afford to lose once -- or else the greatest
living reminder of our natural heritage will die forever.
Please help us prevent this disaster from coming to pass by helping us
build a nationwide army of opposition.

And thank you for fighting to keep the Arctic wild and free.
Sincerely,
Robert Redford
