"Bad ideas never die."  That’s a famous Washington, D.C., adage whose sorry truth is on display again. The House of Representatives is using rising gasoline prices as an excuse to dredge up its dirty, destructive energy bill for another series of votes, including a renewed effort attempt to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling.

The package of legislation that’s on the schedule for this week, H.R. 6, would pave the way for drilling and mining on our most special public lands, from the Arctic to Otero Mesa of New Mexico and the Red Desert of Wyoming. At the same time, it would roll back environmental safeguards that protect our air, water, land and health. And it won’t do a thing to bring gas prices down.

The House is likely to consider this bill as soon as Tuesday, June 15.  Your calls are urgently needed -- please call 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Representative.  Tell him/her to vote against the dirty, dangerous energy bill and against any attempt to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. If you absolutely can't call, then please send this letter today.
