1,000,000 Daily Reminders

On April 20th, an offshore oil rig exploded, sunk into the Gulf of Mexico, and started pouring 20,000 to 40,000 barrels of oil a day -- that's between 840,000 and 1,680,000 gallons a day. This is a grisly reminder that the myth of clean and safe offshore oil drilling is just that, a myth.

Yet President Obama's Interior Department -- under the direction of Mr. Ken Salazar -- proposed opening up even more of our oceans and coasts for offshore oil drilling.

Please send Mr. Salazar an e-mail right now and tell him we need to protect our oceans and coasts from tragedies like the BP oil spill with a permanent ban on new offshore drilling rigs.

Letter	Sec. Salazar -- With the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we can see the grim reality that offshore oil drilling leads to the loss of human life, and the destruction of our environment. I'm writing to request that you take immediate steps to halt new offshore oil development. Sincerely,

Join Our Online Forest Photo Rally!
We're collecting photos of people in the forests they love so we can send the message to Congress: protect our wild places, don't sell them off. Right now there's a proposal to make up for budget shortfalls by selling off 800,000 of public lands. We need to make sure our elected officials know how important these places are to us.
