Call the White House, Gale Norton, and Congress!!
In order to counter the pro-development calls and to put pressure directly on the offices
of decision makers, please call the White House, Secretary Norton's offices, and Congress.
Let them know you favor protecting unique national treasures, and that our National
Monuments and Wilderness lands are far more valuable preserved for future generations, not
developed for their minuscule fossil fuel potential. Tell them not to revise or
weaken our National Monuments, not to release our Wilderness
Study Areas to the oil industry, and that if anything the Wilderness Study Area boundaries
should be Increased.
President George W. Bush, White House Comment Line (202)
456-1414
Interior Secretary Gale Norton (202) 208-7351
U.S. Congress Hot line (202) 224-3121 (just ask them to patch you through to the Senator
or Representative you seek)
For more detailed reading on these issues, go over to The Wilderness Society's website at http://www.wilderness.org and click
the side bar titled "Interior's Draft Report calls for Oil Drilling on Millions of
Acres of National Lands." There, you can read the entire draft report and add
some additional facts & figures to your letter. THANK YOU for acting to prevent
oil wells and coal mines in our dwindling wilderness!
Unfortunately email messages to Congress carry almost no weight -- letters and phone calls
are the most effective way to reach them. A clearly thought out letter,
limited to just one topic, is what it takes to get their attention. The more
letters and the more Senators or Congressperson who receive letters, the better.
