Yesterday, Representative Charles Bass of New Hampshire successfully penned a letter that caused the removal of the provision that would allow for drilling in ANWR from the House version of the budget bill. This was the first thing that I heard this morning on NPR when I got in my car, and really started my day off on a high note. I was so excited about this, that I wrote him an email thanking him and his colleagues for his efforts. Below is a copy of that email.
Here are also a few links to his press releases about the issue:

Representative Bass,
I am writing to personally thank you for your efforts to preserve the Artic National Wildlife Refuge and to keep oil and natural gas companies from being allowed to drill there. As an avid environmentalist, the preservation of the ANWR is my top political concern, and I am elighted that there are consciencous representatives out there such as yourself that realize that the answer to our oil and gas problems is not to drill new wells, but to move away from oil and gas completely. I have been following this story for some time now, and it sickens me to believe that there are people out there that would rather take the easy way out and drill, rather than support initiatives for alternative fuel sources, which is the right thing to do. I guess money drives a lot these days.
I would like to congratulate you and your supporters on your victory. I know the fight is not over, but hopefully there are more representatives out there like you and the other 25 members that signed your letter. With your continued support, we can defeat this and move forward. Please pass along my sincere thank you to the other 25 memebers that signed the letter, and feel free to share my sentiments with the rest of the House and Senate.
Thank you!

Posted by: stacey at November 10, 2005 11:24 AMI disagree with your assessment that we need more fossil fuels in the short term. What we really need is a culture that pushes for preservation and conservation. I am hearing a lot about how GM is floundering these days, and some of it can be contributed to their push over the past several years to the big, gas guseling SUV. Now people are beginning to realize that this is not the way to go, and GM is paying for it.
Your right, hybrids do still burn fossil fuels, but it's definately a step in the right direction. The same goes for bio-diesel. If farming is done properly (read organically), the will limit the soil erosion, completely cut the pestacide and fertilizer run-off, and even re-use the bio fuel for the tractors. I know it's a pipe dream, but I would really like to see people and our government headed in this direction. Our federal government pays farmers billions of dollars each year to NOT grow crops. Take that money and encourage them to farm organically, and to produce bio-fuels. Everyone wins with this.
I must refer you to the other posts relating to this on my blog. Check out:
