Time is running out for the Arctic Refuge. Contact Sen. Flake now.

Arizonans, our senator Jeff Flake sits on a key Senate committee about to take a giant step toward opening the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

This week, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is expected to vote on a bill introduced by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) that will open the refuge to drilling.

Our senator serves as key decision maker on the issue. Urge your Sen. Flake to kill the Arctic drilling bill before it reaches the full Senate.

This bill must be stopped or the wildness of the refuge, including important habitat for polar bears, muskoxen and caribou, will be permanently damaged.

Dear Senator Flake,

As a father and statesman, you have a responsibility to leave a habitable planet for our children. Drilling in the arctic will only accelerate the devastating effects of climate change.

Thank you,
