US Senate vote on Alaska drilling too close to call

WASHINGTON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Both sides in a U.S. Senate debate over opening an Alaskan wildlife refuge to oil drilling expected a close vote on Wednesday over the latest attempt by Senate Republicans to pass the measure, this time by adding it to a big military-spending bill.

"I think it will be a very close vote," said Democratic Leader Harry Reid. "This is going to be a hard day."

Stevens, who has fought since the 1980s to pry open the refuge, gave mixed signals. Initially he said he would drop ANWR from the bill if Democrats successfully filibustered it, but later said he would force the entire bill to be renegotiated.

It seems we are reduced to prayer, since we don't have much else to save us but the Goddess, and I think She is so pissed that we may go down, just so the planet has a chance

It takes 60 votes to override the filibuster and I'm not sure the repukes have them...as Harry said, this is going to be a tough day.

Tell them:
Please vote against ANY legislation that allows oil companies access to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
