Senate Democrats are planning an amendment to stop the GOP from using the budget process to more easily allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

ANWR is about as big as SC. Where they want to drill is about as big as JFK Airport.

I agree 100% with your statement.

In fact, I am keeping up with a program called "The Last Alaskans" and this show happens in ANWAR, Alaska.

There are only 7 families that live full time in cabins in ANWAR. They are one tough bunch of folks!!! They love being free to live on this land.

The families that live here will die off since the Congress passed a bill in 1980 during the Jimmah Carter years that no one else will live in Anwar until the last son or daughter die of the parents who live there now.

They make their money by trapping and selling the furs.

They have to hunt for all their food and they have to build their own cabins.

You have to love folks that live here in ANWAR.

Yes, the drilling will be away from these folks and at least they will get to see other folks.

President Trump needs to look into why this bill was passed in Congress in 1980. Is this another Swamp critter.
