10 Famous Quotes by Carl Pope
[1-10] 
“The removal of Arctic and coastal drilling by no means implies this bill is good for America. The House passed a bill loaded down with draconian cuts to programs for the most vulnerable in our country.”
Miscellaneous Quotes
“We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry. They recognize that the budget is an inappropriate place to decide controversial national policy matters like America's energy policy. We urge all members of Congress to remain steadfast in their belief that the vast, unspoiled wilderness of America?s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than a line item in the Federal Budget.”
Miscellaneous Quotes
“These public lands are icons of our natural and cultural history. They belong to us all, and it is not up to congressmen Pombo or Tancredo to offer them to the highest bidder.”
Miscellaneous Quotes
“If you add Al Gore and Ralph Nader's vote totals, a clear majority of people voted for policies and a vision to protect America's environment ... As further proof that Americans used their ballots to support strong environmental safeguards, pro-environmental candidates won in approximately 75 percent of the Sierra Club's top-priority Senate and House campaigns.”
Miscellaneous Quotes
“Those leaders who have stood strong to keep Arctic drilling out of the budget must continue to hold the line. It?s time for Congress to put this bad idea to rest once and for all and focus instead breaking our oil addiction with clean energy solutions.”
Miscellaneous Quotes

Miscellaneous Quotes
“We can reduce the effect of future disruptions by reducing our dependence on oil, not putting up more rigs and drilling our special places. The fact is, we cannot drill our way to oil independence.”
Miscellaneous Quotes
“This guy is a bully. Bullies are people who say, 'If you don't do what I want, I'll hurt you,' or, 'If you don't do what I want, I'm going to take all my marbles and go home.' That's exactly who Ted Stevens is.”
Miscellaneous Quotes
“Today the Senate gave the oil industry and (Sen.) Stevens the lump of coal they deserved.”
