Let's drill at Yellowstone too
Today, "House lawmakers opened the way for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and approved $29 billion for hurricane relief during an all-night session Monday bringing their legislative year to a close."
It was a bit hard for a lot of lawmakers to vote against this measure. Attaching it to a major defense spending bill that included the hurricane relief amendment was pure political genius. Is it any wonder the GOP took over government a few years ago?
Vote against it, and during your next campaign your opponents can say you voted against the war -- it will be done, just watch. Vote against it and your opponents can say you voted against hurricane relief.
Again, the Dems were asleep at the wheel and America and future generations lose.
