ATTENTION PROGRESSIVES -
Check out the online petition to stop possible drilling in ANWR at the following link on the John Kerry website: http://www.johnkerry.com/petition/rollcall_thankyou.html
------------------------------------
John Kerry proposed an amendment to remove from the energy bill any consideration to drill in ANWR. The amendment lost on the Senate floor by a vote of 51-49 with THREE Democrats voting against the amendment, but several Republicans voting for it. The three democrats? Mary Landrieu (LA), Daniel Inouye (HI) and Inouye's Hawaiian colleague Akaka.
The above link takes you to the Kerry online petition drive that now has over 400,000 names. Possibly the House of Representatives will vote to not allow drilling if they see the public reaction. Of course, the House has voted at least twice before to open ANWR, so the prospects are small. But go add your name to the list anyway!!

Thank you!
