We need your help. With talk about opening more areas to oil and gas drilling, and gas prices at record highs, it is more important than ever to get the message out that drilling will not lower gas prices or solve our energy challenge -- it will only benefit big oil which is already raking in record profits. Please voice your desire to see real solutions, not more drilling -- write a letter to the Editor of your local paper. You can customize one of our sample letters or preferably write your own calling on Congress to stop giveaways to Big Oil, start investing in real energy solutions, and protect our coasts and other special places.
