My family and I live in Maine because we value and enjoy the outdoors. This is also why we will vote for John Kerry.
For years, many people, including some people in the government, have been working hard to protect our environment. Progress was made in cleaning up our air and water. Under the Bush administration, there has been a reversal of this progress. Our air and water are being polluted by emissions from coal burning industries in this country. Fish are not safe to eat. Asthma is increasing.
Our national parks, forests and wildlife refuges are also endangered by this administration. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is constantly at risk because George Bush is determined to drill for oil there. Estimates are that it could, at most, have a six-month supply for this country. I hiked in that spectacular wilderness 20 years ago with friends from New England. It is a very special place.
I will be voting for John Kerry for president because he will protect our environment.
