[All] Fwd: Please watch my new video about Shell Oil

[dw dietrich]

Hope this gets through.  No bcc's here. I just feel it is a very important
issue in light of the Gulf disaster, and in light of our sovereignty issues
and responsibilities in the Arctic.

 We can’t let the Gulf disaster be repeated in the Arctic. An oil spill near
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would be a catastrophe for polar bears
and other wildlife. Urge the Obama Administration to impose a long-term
moratorium on Arctic drilling now!

Dear D.,

Last week we celebrated a major victory when a federal court stopped oil and
gas companies from drilling in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea -- one of our nation’s
two Polar Bear Seas.

But that ruling does NOT apply to Shell’s plans for drilling off the coast
of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Beaufort -- the second of the
two Polar Bear Seas.

*Please watch my new video about this critical
issue.*<http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=MvEIs8d9M8eeqcuN6Iks5Q..>

President Obama has stopped Shell’s offshore drilling for this drilling
season.

*But Shell will be back next summer, sinking its drill bits into the
Beaufort Sea -- unless you and I apply overwhelming public pressure to stop
them. *

*We can’t afford a repeat of the Gulf oil spill disaster in America’s
Arctic.*

That’s why, after you watch my video, I need you to join me in signing our
Petition <http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=QroE5elf-f7cou6f6gDBBA..>,
which urges President Obama to impose a seven-year timeout on offshore
drilling in the Arctic. That reprieve is urgently needed so that scientists
can carefully study the real risks of drilling in this most sensitive of all
environments.

*You and I must act now to avert a disaster in the Arctic.* Please tell
President Obama<http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=hpgYLt5ex59U4-MTbEeMgQ..>to
stand up to the oil industry and put the Arctic off-limits to offshore
drilling for seven years.

Thank you for fighting alongside NRDC to keep the Arctic wild and free.

Sincerely,

Robert Redford
Trustee, Natural Resources Defense Council

P.S. Time is running out. Shell has said they will apply soon for permits
allowing them to drill next summer. Does anyone really believe that oil
drilling in the Arctic will be perfectly safe by next summer? A spill in the
Arctic would be devastating to polar bears and other wildlife. Please watch
my urgent video and then take action to help stop
Shell.<http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=I7dagx0SBHYIlXC-PRcsjQ..>Thank
you.
