Another lie-

The people in those states don't want to drill for oil.

When I lived in Alaska for numerous years (97 - 01) the governor is on the record for wanting to drill, as were the elected state representatives, the native tribes, and the residents............ and now I hear on TV some Democrat actually stating that the “People in Alaska don't want to drill.”

That's playing into the ignorance of people. Most don't know better, so when you say some BS like that and no one questions it, it sort of sticks and leaves an impression.

Repeated polls of Alaskan residents show support for new drilling in Alaska in excess of 70%.

Further, the Alaska State legislature recently voted 56-2 (I believe that was the number) urging congress to open drilling in ANWAR.

Anyone who says the people of Alaska are against drilling are flat out liars.
