Stop new BP oil drilling in Alaska


BP is now just one step away from opening up a new oil rig off the coast of Alaska.

Shockingly, the company whose oil rig in the Gulf just became the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history is on the verge of getting a permit to drill some more -- this time just off the coast of Alaska, near the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Please sigh our petition to tell President Obama to stop BP's dangerous Alaskan drilling scheme, and all new drilling off our coasts.

Stopping Oil Drilling Off Our Coasts

Supporting the 26 year-old moratorium on new offshore drilling, we helped block an amendment that would have allowed drilling for natural gas as close as 50 miles off the coast of Virginia, off the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and off Assateague Island National Seashore and wildlife areas.

Dear President Obama:

I am writing to urge your administration to deny BP a final permit for its Liberty Project to drill for oil off of Alaska’s coast. It is simply beyond the pale that the very company that just created the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history would be granted a new permit to drill -- just miles from the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, no less.

It is time for you to draw a line in the sand against new oil drilling, and to turn our nation toward clean, renewable energy instead. Rejecting BP's drilling permit and canceling its lease for the "Liberty Project" is a perfect first step to put us on that path. I urge you to take it now.

Sincerely,
