> Arctic Refuge Action Update - good news!
>
> Dear friends,
> We have great news to share with you all as a follow-up on the alert we
sent
> out this morning.
>
> Just minutes ago Senator Murkowski from Alaska took to the Senate floor
and
> announced that he would NOT offer an Arctic Refuge drilling amendment to
the
> Defense Authorization Bill! Senator Murkowski tested the waters - and the
> response to his shameful push for drilling was overwhelmingly negative.
> THANKS TO ALL OF YOU and your massive action on such short notice! We've
> gotten some great feedback from the offices you called.
>
> Murkowski, of course, denies ever contemplating an amendment, but make no
> mistake: if it had not been for all of our efforts there was a real risk
> that he may have done so. Murkowski urged that the Senate continue
efforts
> to pass an energy package this fall, which will be the vehicle for him to
> once again push to open up America's Arctic Refuge to the oil industry.
We
> will need to continue to be watchful, but for now enjoy the great news
from
> Washington.
>
> Best wishes,
> The Alaska Wilderness League and The Alaska Coalition family
