Not yet a year after the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, Republicans are renewing efforts to drill for oil and gas in a fiercely contested Alaskan wildlife refuge.
Moving one day after President Barack Obama's unveiled a plan to cut U.S. oil imports by a third over 10 years, Republicans will unveil a bill to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The bill would also force the Interior Department to hold lease sales for offshore areas, a Republican aide said.

Way too late to make an immediate difference, but let's see the dims vote against cheaper gas.

Sorry much as we all want this it will never happen. Crybaby John and all the rest of the RINOS will cry and mewl & caterwaul until the Democrats get what they want. That of course being no drilling.

The idiotic name “Wildlife Reservre, etc”...is a complete deceptive joke. It should be called the “God-forsaken permafrost tuhndra wasteland”..but this is how leftists inject emotion into their positions...
I mean, how could ANYONE want to disrupt the Edenic “Wildlife Reserve”?
What a joke

Oh, uh, oops
Drill, baby, drill!

From the photos I’ve seen, it would only serve to “preserve wildlife” like the LaBrea tar pits did.

We need to use oil and gas that we produce in America creating American jobs and lowering gas and heating and energy prices so America can get back to a roaring economy. But green democrats and rinos will not allow it and too many Americans have no idea who they are voting for in their horrible ignorance and foolishness.

Until he is gone - America is not getting back to a roarin economy. Loads of people who probably watch Obama TV live in a dream world thinking he is Carter. He is far far worse. The damage caused may be irreversible.

The real problem will appear when drilling takes place in ANWR and discovers it to be like NPR-A — revealed some months ago to be empty.
That would be bad.
