Well Marty,

Last Summer I visited ANWR while on a fishing and hunting trip with an old
college buddy. I can assure you of several things:

1) The Alaskans are all for it. They pay no state income taxes, no state
sales taxes, and the state gave out oil dividend checks last year of about
$1800 to every man, woman and child. All from oil revenue.

2) ANWR is not the pristine, beautiful wilderness that the eco-nuts have
tried to portray it as. For the most part, its a flat, featurless plain with billions
of mosquitos, a few ravaged carabou, and zero tourism.

You libs have got to get with the program. We need to develop oil resources
to take care of the US economy. If you really wanted to do something for the
environment, you should convince people to have less children, and help fight
illegal immigration. Thats how you protect the environment...

-John
