1. I guess this thread answers itself

There is no cooridinated movement.

[Redneck Socialist]

3. Coordinated?

There is nothing coordinated about the environmental movement.

Check out The Wilderness Society for information regarding ANWR.

http://www.wilderness.org/OurIssues/Arctic/index.cfm?TopLevel=Home

If you google any of the major enviro groups you'll find a ton of info.

2. The people fighting ANWR are

Wilderness Society, Sierra Club, Alaska Coalition, Defenders of Wildlife, and Natural Resources Defense Council.

Start with the Sierra Club
http://www.sierraclub.org/wildlands/arctic/index.asp

Right now the fight is sort of in limbo because it hangs on the budget conference committee. We need to see if ANWR is still in the final budget bill.

Also, the energy bill which will be discussed this week is said to have an ANWR provision. We need to keep a close eye on that.

5. Some info. there

Signing a petition, and writing letters seems to be about all one can do, at this point in time.

7. Right now, yes because

we don't know what is in the energy bill and we don't know what is going to be in the conference budget bill.

Sign up for Sierra's and Wilderness's email alerts and they will let you know when its time to act.

8. fwiw Sen. Boxer has this 'take action' effort

Tell the oil companies to stay out of ANWR!

Today, my heart is heavy. By just two votes, we came up short in our effort to prevent oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, home to over 150 wildlife species. In the end, over 90% of Senate Democrats voted to stop this madness -- we just didn't have the votes to overcome the Republican majority in the Senate.

But I want you to know that I won't give up in our fight to stop the drilling. And neither should you. I'm going to use every legislative tool at my disposal to reverse this vote and prevent this terrible policy from going into effect. But we can do more -- today.

I'm planning to organize a consumer boycott of any oil company that decides to drill in this pristine Alaskan wilderness area. If, through our pocketbooks, we can convince these companies to do the right thing, we can still save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from the destruction that would be wrought by the oil drilling rigs.

Send an email to the CEOs of ExxonMobil, BP, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch/Shell, and ChevronTexaco now and tell them to stay out of ANWR!

Email this message to:
Mr. David O'Reilly, ChevronTexaco CEO
Mr. James Mulva, ConocoPhillips CEO
Mr. Jeroen van der Veer, Shell CEO
Mr. John Browne, BP CEO
Mr. Lee Raymond, ExxonMobil CEO
