States rights. Alaskans want ANWR. It's good for American
independence from middle east oil. It's good for the Alaskan
economy. There is nothing that supports the assertion that
it's bad for the environment. DRILL! And in the mean time,
let's get going on alternative fuel sources... get those windmills
going off Cape Cod (even though Kerry and Cronkite don't want
to 'spoil the view' )

Poll: Eskimos Back ANWR Drilling
Newsmax.com
The last time they were surveyed, Americans most directly affected by a
Bush administration proposal to drill for oil in Alaska's Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge overwhelmingly backed the plan.
Seventy-five percent of Alaskans told a February 2000 Dittman research
survey that they wanted to open up the refuge for drilling, with only 23
percent opposed.
A 1995 Dittman survey yielded similar results, with 75 percent of Alaskans
saying they backed ANWR drilling, and just 19 percent opposed.
In the Inupiat Eskimo villages near ANWR, support is even higher. A
January 2000 survey in the village of Kaktovik found that 78 percent of
residents back more energy exploration in their own backyard. Only 9
percent were opposed.
A January 2005 Harris Interactive survey found that nationwide, Americans
back drilling in ANWR by a margin of 53 percent to 47 percent.
