HELP SAVE THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
 
NOTABLE QUOTES: NORTH CAROLINA

"People had better be prepared for the fact that the president's actions aren't going to drop the price of gasoline like a rock. Conservation is at the heart of any long-term answer."

Raleigh [NC] News & Observer, Thursday April 27, 2006 

"If the government was going to keep gasoline cheap, it should have at least demanded higher gas mileage from the auto manufacturers. But politicians bought and owned by the special interests, and too weak to speak hard truths to the American people, didn't pass those standards."

Winston-Salem Journal, Friday April 28, 2006 

"In a far-ranging debate, opponents of drilling in the refuge would no doubt bring up the latest oil spill, the largest ever on Alaska ’s North Slope , just west of ANWR. That spill of as much as 267,000 gallons of thick crude oil went undetected for as long as five days, oil company officials said Tuesday. That shows how hollow the promises are about how clean and safe drilling in the Arctic will be."
