With the U.S. Senate heading for a showdown vote on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, I wish I could sit down with you and other supporters to explain the enormous challenge we face over the next six weeks.
Since I can't do that, I've done the next best thing and recorded a short video message about the critical situation at hand. I hope you'll watch this two- minute video right away.
Then I need you to take an extra step to save the Arctic Refuge by passing this video on to your friends and colleagues. They need to know that drilling the Arctic -- and destroying our natural heritage -- will not save us money at the pump or make us more secure.
Our goal: to reach into homes across America over the next two weeks, so that when the make-or-break vote comes after Labor Day, we can spring into action one million strong and defeat Big Oil's agenda.

The House recently passed the so-called "American-Made Energy and Good Jobs Act" (H.R. 5429), which would stuff the oil companies' already bloated coffers with billions more in profits.
And it would destroy the Arctic Refuge for the sake of oil that won't make a dent in gas prices or wean us off Persian Gulf oil.
A version of this Arctic wildlife destruction bill is now headed for a vote in the U.S. Senate sometime in September. Please help us mobilize one million Americans to stop this bill in its tracks.
I know how many times you've helped us block President Bush's relentless drive to destroy the Arctic Refuge.
But the political reality is this: the White House can afford to lose this fight repeatedly. But we cannot afford to lose once -- or else the greatest living reminder of our natural heritage will die forever.
Please help us prevent this disaster from coming to pass by helping us build a nationwide army of opposition.
