Hi Friends,

I am writing you on behalf of an issue that I know is important to you as it is to me.  President Obama has approved oil drilling off the coast of California as well as Alaska.  Americans have only 60 days to let their opinion be heard on this issue.  As a private citizen, my circle of influence is very small.  With great respect, I urge you to please use your influence and connections to share this information with as many people as possible, as well as to help direct my email within your organization.

We all know the awful environmental impact oil drilling will have.  In his inaugural address, Obama stressed the importance of harnessing green energy, the power of the sun and the wind, for our future.  Please help to hold him accountable to this.  Oil drilling will destroy everything we’ve worked so hard for here in California and we will most likely not see a drop of that oil for at least 10 years.

You can contact Obama via his presidential website:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Or via post:
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Or by phone: 202-456-1111

Please help to stop the destruction of our precious California and Alaska coastlines, our wildlife, the beauty of our nature.  The more people we have responding to this, the better chance we have of preventing the destruction of our precious environment. We have the power to change this!

Respectfully,
Kate Warner
