Today's
vote to strike Arctic Refuge drilling language from the Department of
Defense appropriation bill is a huge win for America's Arctic and for
the American public.
Americans
strongly oppose drilling in the Arctic Refuge, and this week they have
made their voices heard and beaten back perhaps the most cynical
attempt yet to drill in one of America¹s last wild places.
We
hope that Senator Stevens will finally learn from this vote - Americans
want to see the Arctic Refuge protected, not plundered.
U.S.
PIRG commends Senator Lieberman for helping lead the filibuster and for
Senator Dodd for his continued support of the Arctic Refuge.
