ANWR, ANWR, ANWR

A few notes on ANWR --

JK will filibuster if neccessary - but I am told they feel they can win without it.

I have three ANWR posts on the Dem Daily of interest:

1)As ANWR Vote Moves to Senate, 5 Generals Urge Senate to Drop ANWR from Defense Bill (Letter via a little bird) - http://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/?p=1447

2)Call Your Senators NOW To Save The Arctic Refuge!
The NRDC has an Action Alert on their homepage regarding the vote in the Senate on the Defense Bill which includes language for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The House passed its version of this measure early Monday and the Senate could vote at any time. See my post below, on the letter from 5 retired generals urging the Senate to drop ANWR from the Defense Bill.

Please call your senators at 202-224-3121 and ask them to remove Arctic drilling from the Defense Appropriations bill.

3)Republican House ANWR Proponents Declare Victory
December 19th, 2005
In a press release from the House Committee on Resources, Committee leader Richard Pombo declared victory today on the passing of ANWR drilling provision in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. It is now up to the Senate to stop this madness.
