Boycott Exxon

As you probably know, last week the House of Representatives passed a bill that would allow oil companies to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And which oil company has been lobbying the hardest for access to the Arctic Refuge? ExxonMobil.

More than 68,000 activists like you have taken the pledge to boycott ExxonMobil until it stops pushing for policies that hurt our polar bears, sea otters and other wildlife - thank you for your action!

With gas prices averaging $2.87 nationally, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars a week that ExxonMobil can't spend on their anti-wildlife agenda!

Now we need your help once again. Today, ExxonMobil's shareholders begin their annual meeting, and we want to send them a loud, clear message that ExxonMobil needs to change its ways. Can you encourage at least 3 friends to join the boycott of ExxonMobil? Send them this link:

or send them an e-card to spread the
word!

Changing ExxonMobil's ways is within our reach. At the 2004 ExxonMobil annual shareholder meeting, 28.3% of shareholders voted for a resolution calling on the company's board of directors to review how it will meet greenhouse gas reduction targets in countries participating in the Kyoto
Protocol.

Please encourage your friends to boycott ExxonMobil until they stop trying to drill in the Arctic Refuge and along our coasts.

Our decisions at the pump could make a big difference for our wildlife. You've already taken a big first step by letting ExxonMobil know that we won't buy their gas until they stop trying to drill in the Arctic Refuge and fighting efforts to curb global warming. Now, get your friends involved!
