Polar
bears win rare victory
Judge stops BIG OIL polar rapes
"Thanks
for stopping those Bush bastards..."
A federal court has just halted oil
and gas companies from moving ahead with drilling operations
in millions of acres spanning Alaska's Chukchi Sea -- one of our
nation's two
"Polar Bear Seas."
The ruling is a huge victory for polar bears, bowhead whales, other
Arctic wildlife and tens of
thousands of NRDC supporters like you who enabled us to go to court and
fight off Big Oil's
planned invasion of this sensitive habitat.
The massive fire sale of drilling rights in the Chukchi Sea was
initiated by the Bush bastards
in its final days. In effect, the Bush Interior Department sold the
home of half our nation's
polar bears right out from under their feet and sparked a modern-day
oil rush into the heart
of the bear's melting sea ice habitat.
