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.

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. Read more.
