NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION
November 2, 2005

Attention: Truckers! Your help is needed to stop U.S. oil from being exported!

Sometime on Thursday, Nov. 3, the U.S. Senate will vote on an amendment to the budget reconciliation bill offered by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-OR, and Sen. Jim Talent, R-MO.  This amendment will assure that oil and gas produced in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - ANWR - will be used exclusively to reduce U.S. dependence on fossil fuel and to lessen our dependence on foreign sources.

The Wyden-Talent amendment prohibits the export of oil and natural gas produced in ANWR.

Please call both of your U.S. Senators as early as you can on Thursday. Ask them to support the Wyden-Talent amendment.

If you are a Missouri or Oregon trucker, please let Senators Talent and Wyden know you appreciate their efforts.

You can reach every Senator via the U.S. Capital switchboard at (202) 224-3121. You can also find contact information for your U.S. Senators at senate.gov or you can call the OOIDA Membership Department at 1-800-444-5791 and they will be happy to look up the information for you.
