1. This is so sad.

And what is so maddening is we lost the vote because two dems defected.

5. It was three Democrats

Landrieu, Akaka and Inouye.

This explains the Hawaii votes:

2. It's definititely

worth the 6 months worth of oil it will provide. In fact I'd even consider ANWR the solution to our energy dependence woes!


Fuck Landrieu.

4. send this letter to your worthless Repub Senator....

Dear Senator :

I hate that you voted for the Alaskan drilling.

If you have not witnessed the Alaska Pipeline, let me just say this: the crude is propelled by jet engines. You know what a jet engine sounds like. That's what its like to be near the Alaska Pipeline. Now we have lots more of it.

Environmentalists stated: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0316-13.htm

1. more pipelines: "Environmentalists contended that while new technologies have reduced the drilling footprint, ANWR's coastal plain still would contain a spider web of pipelines that would disrupt calving caribou and disturb polar bears, musk oxen and the annual influx of millions of migratory birds....

2. no oil available from it for 10 years: We won't see this oil for 10 years. It will have minimal impact," argued Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash

You screwed up Senator.

Everyday it's something else and I don't know how much longer I can take this shit.

8. It's not over yet

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP YET!!
