Amen, Boehner
More of this, please:
"Later this week, the House will consider ANWR legislation which will create American jobs by authorizing environmentally safe energy production on just 2,000 of ANWR's 20 million acres. Using 21st Century technology that is environmentally safe, we can create more than a million American jobs, strengthen American energy security, and increase our energy independence. Had President Clinton not vetoed ANWR in 1995, the U.S. could be getting nearly 1.5 million barrels of oil per day from the arctic - an amount equal to the daily production lost in the Gulf after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"While Republicans offer solutions, the Democrats' chronic negligence on energy solutions continues to impact working Americans every day. The Democrats have shown that their energy policy runs on nothing but hot air. They are on the wrong side of the issue of American energy independence with regards to the policy AND politics. Even their supporters in the labor movement recognize that Democrats are standing in the way of increased American energy production."
While the Senate Republicans are wandering further down the "Democrats-but-Better" whole over immigration by offering solutions that are counterintuitive, the conservatives in the House make complete sense. Thanks to Don for this gem.

Since the House is voting today, people who support drilling in ANWR can easily get involved by emailing their thoughts to Congress, writing local newspapers, alerting friends and even signing a petition through the ANWR Action Site.
