We should start by allowing drilling in Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge. It can provide billions of barrels of recoverable oil and trillions of cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.

I cannot in good conscience vote for final passage of legislation that would pave the way to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

Here in the United States, we have between 250 and 300 years of a coal supply. That is more than the amount of recoverable oil contained in the entire world.

Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge stands to not only increase the United States' oil reserves by nearly 50 percent, but it will create thousands of good U.S. jobs.
Drilling in the refuge will not solve America's energy problem. The Energy Department's own figures show that drilling would not change gas prices by more than a penny a gallon, and this would be 20 years from now.

There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what's best for us.

Billions and Billions
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
Billions and billions
Of stars in the sky-
Billions and billions
Of people who die.
Billions and billions
We wonder why-
So much and so many
And all passing by.

While it is important to maintain a balanced approach to solving our nation's energy problems, we must commit ourselves to recognize some areas as 'off limits,' and the Artic National Wildlife Reserve is a national symbol of that commitment.

The debt and the deficit is just getting out of control, and the administration is still pumping through billions upon trillions of new spending. That does not grow the economy.
10 Amazing Natural Wonders of the World!
Resting between Ontario and New York, Niagara Falls score
420 million years, breathtaking beauties of nature spark
Falls can get up to 202,000 cubic feet per second in a natural lore
Extended more than 62 miles, it, the most impressive landmark
Count 6 - Niagara Falls is one of natural wonders of the world!
Sitting on the border of Italy and Switzerland with distinct peaks
The Matterhorn has the iconic image of the Alps with pyramid shocks
14,680 and 14690, challenging with deadliest north face from 1865
Though beautiful yet sang mourning elegy to 500 alpinists by 1995
Count 7 - the Matterhorn is one of natural wonders of the world!
Stretching from Grand Canyon to the Forest National Park Petrified,
Reds, yellows, grays, and oranges on it - Oh, nature is beautified;
In Arizona, A stunning sight - Acclivities and hills, Desert painted
Inspiring splendor, dinosaur tracks, prehistoric fossils are sainted
Count 8 - Painted Desert is one of the natural wonders of the world!
The Badlands National Park with 244,000 acres of nature splendid
Sharply eroded buttes, slender pinnacles, and spires are blended
With mixed grass prairies, Fossil hunters are always hypnotized
As camels and rhinos; seashells and turtle shells were fossilized
Count 9 - The Badlands is one of the natural wonders of the world!
Kingdom animalia with flora is nicknamed, The Flower Island by many,
Named Mainau, trilateral border, lives on Lake Constance of Germany,
With Palm house, the butterfly house and Baroque castle, a moralizer
With blooms-roses, trees-cedar and bushes - a natural tranquilizer
Count 10 - Mainau is one of the natural wonders of the world!

Wisdom Sealed
Millions and Billions starve for food
Billions and Trillions spent on arms
Wisdom sealed.
Presidents and Premiers talk of welfare
Coffers emptied for sake of warfare
Wisdom sealed.
Hunger leads to many a death
Wealth stored in many a locker
Wisdom sealed.
Resourceful few rejoice with luxuries
Remaining lot rot in poverty
Wisdom sealed.

Out Of Egypt
Eve's misunderstanding,
Cain's misunderstanding,
Nimrod's misunderstanding,
A false witness will utter lies;
For the 60-year-old apple tree has fallen.
To the prayers of the saints,
Ten of tens of love to share to all mankind;
But, the planter still lives.
Of thousands of thousands,
Of millions of millions,
Of billions of billions,
Of trillions of trillions,
Of zillions of zillions,
The 60-year-old apple tree has fallen.
Ten thousand times ten thousand,
Disease is like a seditive!
So, use your senses well in times like this.
Of many years gone by,
Of many tears gone by,
Of many fears gone by,
Of many wears gone by,
Like the precious oil upon my head;
And like him who sits on the throne.
Power, riches and wisdom;
Strength, honour and glory;
It is just like the dew of Hermon where,
The blessing of this compact city is with us always.
It started with Eve,
It started with Cain,
It started with Nimrod,
The works of Man's hand;
Like the letters of Baal out of Egypt.

i lied when i told her that i am in Alaska
to make fun of life
when you feel that you are like
inside a can
of milk
i told her by way of a joke
that i am in
Alaska...
of course she does not believe it
for all the while
she knows
that my only Alaska is no other
than the
Condensada.
But i get the point though
albeit in a manner that is subtle
that indeed i am in Alaska
that cold round can
so sweet with all the condensed
reconstituted milk
causing Diabetes

A Great Wonder
It is no wonder
the grand Universe
does not go asunder
which is so diverse
as a spider-web grand
made up of Galaxies billions
with many a connecting strand
of Stars trillions and trillions.
It is no wonder
when our complete Solar system
in its motion performs no blunder
with its Planets, and Sub-system
being a part of Milky Way
along with asteroids and comets.
All the components with precision play
from their appointed posits.
It is no wonder
the Earth revolving around the Sun.
Even when we ponder
the circles of the Sun's turn
to the centre of the galaxy
of stars in true radiancy.
It is a great wonder
and an exclusive mystery
as to how the kind human mind is a blender
of gore, and murder is the query!

Alaska
The Yukon,
The Home of Jack London,
Alaska is a great place,
Marvelling with beauty,
With the great wildlife,
And the great wilderness,
There is no place like it.

I Asked Mother Earth
I asked Mother Earth what she wanted right now,
She said STOP oil drilling in the Sea and in the Ground
This is not good for all LIFE here as we know,
It's dangerous and RISKY for ABOVE and BELOW.
I am asking you oil companies from the CENTER of my HEART,
It's time to STOP oil drilling and make a new start.
Take all of the oil that you've drilled her so far,
put it in containers and fly it to MARS.
No joking, I'm not fooling with you anymore,
if you let this go on any longer
I will definitely let my ANGER show.
Remember you can lift your wrong to a better RIGHT,
We have CHANGE to our ways,
or there's no more DAY and no more NIGHT.
The End.

I've got a chart here that shows our debt-to-GDP ratio. And while we did run deficits in the past, we now number our debt in trillions rather than in billions. And I think that represents a long-term danger, especially to the, the American dream.
Big government conservatives are spending trillions and wasting billions. Republicans are no longer the party of fiscal conservancy, but the party of runaway spending and corruption.
