Since there is not an open thread on the front page, I just read something on CNN that blew my mind and I thought I would alert my fellow Kossacks of. Do you know what the party of big oil wants to do? It wants to deliver a check for $100 to every taxpayer in America to "buy gas." Sounds great, doesn't it? But the hidden bomb in this legislation is that if it passes, the Artic National Wildlife Refuge will be opened to oil and gas exploration!!
Have these Republicans no shame? Is 100 bucks going to make up for a treasure like the ANWR? These Republican fascists are evil. We must fight them to the end.
Democrats are offering there own amendment, which does not open up ANWR to drilling.
Here is the CNN story:
