I just sent a very important message to my U.S. Senate urging him to vote against the federal budget because it would allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America's most magnificent wildlife sanctuary.

Won't you do the same?

Political leaders in Congress and the Bush administration have yet again included measures in this year's budget that would allow drilling in the Arctic Refuge.

And for what? A few months' supply of oil that would not reach the market for a decade.

Meanwhile, the harm to polar bears, wolves, caribou, birds and other wildlife in our greatest wildlife refuge would be irreparable.

It's not worth it. We need to save wild places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for our children and grandchildren.

Thanks for your help protecting wildlife.
