“We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry. They recognize that the budget is an inappropriate place to decide controversial national policy matters like America's energy policy. We urge all members of Congress to remain steadfast in their belief that the vast, unspoiled wilderness of America?s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than a line item in the Federal Budget.” MatterAmericaBeliefEnergyLinesPolicyIndustryRepublicanMembersPressureDemocratCongressOilAdministrationBudgetsFirmUrgesWildernessAlliesRefugeSenatorsItemsWildlifeControversialInappropriateSteadfastArcticDrillingEnergy PolicyOil Industry Author:Carl Pope

“I think we were naive during the first two years of the [Barack] Obama Administration because the Republicans didn't fight us on this point during the 2008 Presidential Election. Obama and McCain both ran on a clean energy platform. But now, uncontested lies have eroded hard-won public understanding. So, we have to go back and make the case again.” ThinkingYearsFirstsTwoHardLyingFightingEnergyUnderstandingCasesRepublicanElectionCleanAdministrationBarackPresidentialRanTwo YearsPlatformsNaiveMccainPresidential ElectionClean Energy Author:Van Jones
