LCV Events: Meet With Wilson This Week & Earth Day

From Maggie Toulouse, League of Conservation Voters:
LCV has been working in New Mexico with our friends in the Coalition for the Valle Vidal (www.vallevidal.org) to protect one of New Mexico's and America's most precious places -- the Valle Vidal -- from harmful drilling for gas and other minerals.  LCV has also been working diligently to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- Alaska's version of the Valle Vidal -- from a similar fate.  Your opportunity to help protect these beautiful places is happening this week.
