WF APPROPRIATE ACTION
Okay, now that i have your Lower Chakra Attention (hey, i'm a Gemini...i love and require the surrounding of physical beauty near me. the artful expression of a healthy, strong, supple body naked in its Divine emBodyment is to me, vital for the full human experience), let me see if i can get you to do some Real Warrior Work for our True Female Nourisher; Mother Earth:
For the third straight year, the White House is trying to ram an energy bill
through Congress that would dole out billions of our tax dollars to oil, coal
and nuclear companies while sacrificing pristine wildlands, worsening air
pollution and prolonging our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels.
The U.S. Senate begins debate this week on its version of the energy bill.
Please go to
http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/energybill/action.asp?step=2&item=52004y
right now and tell your two Senators to reject any and all provisions that
would ravage our last wild places and threaten the health of our families.
The Senate bill would give oil and gas companies a free pass to drill their way
through the Western Arctic Reserve without any regard for its spectacular
wildlife. It would promote oil and gas drilling off America's seashores, even
where it is currently banned.
And it would spend our tax dollars to build a new generation of nuclear power
plants in our communities, while guaranteeing limited liability to the
corporate owners in the event of a catastrophic meltdown!
Meanwhile, the bill fails to take steps to reverse global warming, improve the
fuel-efficiency of our cars and trucks, or aggressively promote clean and
renewable forms of energy.
But as awful as this pro-polluter bill already is, it may turn even uglier in
the days ahead. A slew of industry-sponsored amendments could make oil and gas
drilling a top priority across the West, even in national treasures like
Greater Yellowstone. For example, two provisions would allow oil and gas
companies to evade vital environmental laws and dump their pollution directly
into fragile wildlands!
Please stand up for our health and heritage right now. Go to

and tell your Senators to reject a pro-polluter, anti-wilderness energy bill!
