Arctic refuge turns 50, Obama urged to make it a national monument

FILE - This July 2001 file photo shows the coastal plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Some of the most influential people and organizations in America think they have the perfect gift for President Obama to give to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on its 50th birthday. Make the refuge's oil-rich coastal plain a national monument and let it stand with the likes of the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty _ and in the process, potentially putting it beyond the grasp of oil companies and drilling.
