If you haven't seen this already, I urge you to go to the Cantwell website and sign the petition. You've probably followed Sen. Stevens sleazy back door attempt to get drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge approved by attaching it as a rider to the Defense Appropriations bill. Sen. Cantwell of Washington state is one of the strong voices in the Senate against this back door maneuver. <BR>
See the msg pasted below. And I urge you to call your senators and ask them to stand firm against this, using a filibuster if necessary. The birds of the Arctic will thank you!<BR>
Regards<BR>

Senator Cantwell has totally stepped up to the plate and is battling<BR>
the bully Stevens - yet again.<BR>
<BR>
She is looking for our help to generate millions of names to reinforce<BR>
her effort on behalf of the Arctic.<BR>
<BR>
PLEASE follow through on this. Many of us have asked Senator Cantwell<BR>
to champion this issue - the least we can do is sign the Arctic<BR>
petition.<BR>
