Evidently, there is a call to action to turn out and testify against drilling in ANWAR and locking it up forever:  "In Fairbanks, on Thursday May 13, at the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center, comments will be taken regarding the opening of the ANWR. If you are able to testify for protection of ANWR, you must arrive to sign up at 3:00pm."

Here are their talking points. 

1) Recommend wilderness designation for the coastal plain to protect the

calving and nursery grounds of the Porcupine caribou herd and Gwich’in subsistence

way of life.

2) Call for wilderness review for the entire Coastal Plain and rest of the

refuge.

3) Insist on safeguarding the wilderness qualities and integrity of the

ecosystem of the Refuge as a whole through appropriate stewardship.

4) Emphasize that oil and gas leasing, exploration and development will

permanently harm the wildlife and subsistence values of the coastal plain and rest

of the Refuge.

5) Oppose Development of Oil and Gas in the 1002 area of the ANWR and Offshore Water of the Arctic Ocean, Chukchi Sea, and Beaufort Sea.

There's lots of opposition on the right and with the greenies because of the Gulf spill, but the above isn't in our best interest.  Do we know people who can turn out in Fairbanks to talk against choking ANWAR?
