Those leaders who have ordtak

Those leaders who have stood strong to keep Arctic drilling out of the budget must continue to hold the line. It?s time for Congress to put this bad idea to rest once and for all and focus instead breaking our oil addiction with clean energy solutions.

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.

We deeply regret that some Senators are still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, and we now turn to the House where the Arctic drilling scheme should be dead on arrival. Americans are clamoring for a clean Congress and a clean energy plan, but sadly they were shortchanged on both today.

We applaud those in Congress who have refused to let drilling proponents manipulate them and the democratic process. Although there are some still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, the drilling lobby and their allies will be hard-pressed to keep Arctic drilling in the budget knowing that it is dead on arrival in the House.

Unlike their colleagues across the Capitol, the House Budget Committee refrained from undermining the federal budget process and kept Arctic drilling out of its spending plan. Sadly, they also kept out enough funding for clean water, clean air and other public health and natural resources protections, which were cut by about 10 percent.

He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor. Jim Nussle has said that a clean budget is one of his top priorities, and he has proven that today by keeping dicey policy language that has no budgetary consequence, namely drilling in the Arctic refuge, out of the budget.

Rodger Schlickeisen

We will remain vigilant against any attempt to revive drilling language. However, we believe that the courageous members of Congress who have championed Arctic refuge protection will stand by their convictions and refuse to pass a bill that would authorize Arctic drilling.

These new standards build on California's world leadership in clean air and clean energy solutions. We will create a clean technology boom in California that breaks our addiction to fossil fuels and protects our health and economy from the effects of global warming. Innovation will stimulate business investments in advanced energy alternatives and generate new 'clean-tech' jobs.

Orchestrating a federal budget plan to allow Arctic drilling ... only serves to pay back big energy companies that have been hauling in record profits.

It's not too late to save the Arctic Refuge from devastating oil drilling. We have to make our voices heard now. The big oil companies have the money and the high-powered lobbyists, but we are confident that when it comes time to vote on the fate of the Arctic Refuge, Congress will listen to the American people.

Bill Meadows (1973-)

By using the budget bill primarily as a vehicle for Arctic Refuge drilling, the Senate has dropped any pretense of working to balance the budget or reduce the deficit. The Senate is treating the budget process as a joke and a special interest gravy boat.

Nancy Johnson has moved from being a quiet champion of the wilderness bill to leading the charge in opposition to the Republican leadership's effort to open the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. She has at least twice penned a Dear Colleague letter to the Budget Committee Chair and the leadership urging that they not use the budget process to advance Arctic drilling and got a dozen of her moderate Republican colleagues to join.

Thanks to Congress's extending the wind energy production credit before it expired for the first time in the credit's history, the wind industry is looking forward to several record-breaking years in a row. Companies can now plan for growth, create jobs, and provide more clean power to customers nationwide. We are finally beginning to tap into wind energy's enormous potential.

Randall Swisher

We are very confident we can defeat any attempt to include Arctic drilling in any budget bill on the House side.

The budget that came out funds less than half of what the recent energy bill promised for renewable energy and energy efficiency - the two most readily available opportunities to break our addiction to oil.
