Once again we are being had America!
 
If we were to build at least two new refineries in this country, develop ANWAR and build a pipeline to Prudhoe Bay, it would create a half a million jobs. Then we could tell the Saudie's to shove it. The bottom line is that this is the real road to recovery and yet the left are fighting it tooth and nail. Its time to get an actual American running things with real vision and loyalty to we the people. ~~~ *M*
 
Some interesting facts and photos from a friend in Colorado Springs.  
 
My daughter and  son-in-law were in L.A. last week from their home in   Anchorage .  He is a foreman in the oil fields at  ANWR.  He has to fly his own plane to get to the job  where he spends months at a time in the most God forsaken  place this side of Siberia .  He  confirmed  everything that is in this story, and brought dozens of  pictures for proof.  


Our environmentalist friends  have forced gas prices up to an impossible rate, forcing us to  buy oil from our enemies, for whatever reason that simply  isn't true.  There is enough oil in ANWR to supply the US  at our present rate of usage for more than 200 years.   The space that ANWR occupies in Alaska is equivalent to a  postage stamp in the Mojave Desert .  

If you won't  mind paying $5.00 a gallon (or more) in the very near future try to make  sense of the following: 
  
  I  would like to add a little more information. A new pipeline  across   Alaska isn't required since the location for  drilling in ANWR is about 160 miles from the North Slope  Prudhoe Bay pipeline where it would be connected. I did not know  this.Second the wildlife  love the pipeline since it is heated and provides a shelter  during the worst times during the winter. Maybe another  question should be asked. 
  FIRST do you know what ANWR is?  
 ANSWER: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  
 Now  A comparison 
 
 And  some perspective?  
 
 NOTE  WHERE THE PROPOSED  
  DEVELOPMENT  AREA IS?

(it's in  the "ANWR Coastal Plain")  
 
 THIS  IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, 
LIBERALS  AND "GREENS" SHOW YOU 
WHEN  THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR  
 and  they are right these ARE 
photographs  of ANWR 
 
 ISN'T  ANWR BEAUTIFUL?  WHY 
SHOULD  WE DRILL HERE 
(AND  DESTROY) THIS BEAUTIFUL 
PLACE? 
 WELL  THAT'S NOT EXACTLY 
THE  TRUTH 
 Do  you remember the map?  
 The  map showed that the proposed 
drilling  area is in the ANWR Coastal 
Plain  Do those photographs look like a 
coastal  plain to you? 
 WHAT'S  GOING ON HERE? 
 THE  ANSWER IS SIMPLE  
 THAT  IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE  
 WANTING TO DRILL! 
 THIS  IS WHAT THE PROPOSED  
  EXPLORATION  AREA ACTUALLY 
LOOKS  LIKE IN THE WINTER  
 
AND  THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY 
LOOKS  LIKE IN THE SUMMER  
 
 HERE  ARE A COUPLE SCREEN 
SHOTS  FROM GOOGLE EARTH  
 
AS  YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA 
WHERE  THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT  
  DRILLING  IS A BARREN WASTELAND.  
 OH AND THEY SAY THAT THEY 
 ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT  
 ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE? 
 HERE  IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE 
SUMMER)  OF THE 
 "DEPLETED  WILDLIFE" SITUATION 
CREATED  BY DRILLING AROUND 
 PRUDHOE BAY * 
 DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU  
 REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING? 
 
 HERE'S  THAT SAME SPOT DURING  
  THE  WINTER. 
 
HEY, THIS  BEAR SEEMS TO REALLY 
HATE THE  PIPELINE NEAR 
 PRUDHOE BAY * 
 
 *The  Prudhoe bay area accounts  for 17% of   U.S. 
  Domestic oil production  
 NOW,  WHY DO YOU THINK THAT  
  THE  DEMOCRATS ARE 
  LYING ABOUT ANWR? 
 REMEMBER  WHEN   AL GORE  
  SAID THAT 
 THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD WORK TO  
 ARTIFICIALLY RAISE GAS PRICES  
 TO $5.00 A GALLON? 
 WELL 
  AL   GORE AND HIS FELLOW  
 DEMOCRATS HAVE ALMOST 
  REACHED THEIR GOAL! 
 NOW  THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE 
DEMOCRATS  HAVE BEEN LYING,  
 WHAT  ARE YOU GOING TO DO 
ABOUT  IT? 
  
 YOU  CAN START BY FORWARDING 
THIS  TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW  
 SO  THAT THEY WILL KNOW 
THE  TRUTH.
