Dispatches from Arctic Refuge Action Day A family sends firsthand accounts from the rally	Sarah van Schagen	21 Sep 2005	Gristmill
In a massive grassroots campaign to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, thousands of citizen lobbyists descended upon the U.S. Capitol yesterday to protest drilling plans and lobby Congress before a pivotal vote this fall. The Arctic Refuge Action Day events were coordinated by a number of major environmental groups, grassroots organizers, and volunteer 'bus captains' who drove protestors from as far as Oregon and Alaska to Washington, D.C.

Parody on Parade An improbable plan would use Arctic Refuge drilling proceeds to fund transportation projects	Amanda Griscom	11 Feb 2004	Muckraker
Beltway insiders waited with bated breath yesterday to see if Sen. Peter Domenici (R-N.M.) would succeed in tacking his stalled-out energy bill onto the huge highway transportation bill now wending its way through Congress.
