Action Alert

ANWR.org, an industry front group, has come up with a new ad campaign to convince the public that drilling in ANWR is good. This organization is funded by "Arctic Power," an Alaska based lobbying group funded by Alaskan state funds. Oil companies pay this group to operate, spreading biased half-truths about oil issues in an attempt to sway public opinion. Their latest ad is narrated by Fenton Rexford, from Katovik, Alaska. He claims that "jobs and energy for America" can coexist with animals and the environment. Here's the advertisement, which uses Shockwave Flash. If you don't have flash, get it here, or read our summary of what Rexford's corporate advisors had him say.

Once you've seen the ad, get the facts by reading our information on debunking the myths and the ANWR index page.

What can you do to help? Email this industry front group and voice your outrage about their lies. Tell them you know where their funding comes from and you will do everything you can to stop this convoluted "grassroots movement."
