Protect the Polar Bears of Chukchi Sea!

Less than a month after listing polar bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided to give oil companies legal protection to potentially harm the bears as they move forward with oil and gas exploration and development in Alaska's Chukchi Sea.

Head over to the National Wildlife Federation and copy the e-mail they've prepared for people to use as a way to open up their representatives' eyes.

They want you to edit and send the message to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director H. Dale Hall, urging him to protect the Chukchi Sea polar bears, not big oil profits. I say send it to any political figure, Democrat or Republican, you can think of!
