This email was really an eye opener and I feel it is very important to get out to the public.
FIRST. do you know what ANWR is?

ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

 

Now.  A comparison:

And some perspective.

 

  

NOTE WHERE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA IS.
(it's in the "ANWR Coastal Plain")

 

   THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS AND "GREENS" SHOW YOU WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR and they are right. these ARE photographs of ANWR
 

 

ISN'T ANWR BEAUTIFUL?  WHY SHOULD WE DRILL HERE (AND DESTROY) THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE?
 

 WELL. THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE TRUTH

 

 

 Do you remember the map?

 

 The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain.

 

 Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you?

 

 

 WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

 

THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE.

 

 THAT IS NOTWHERE THEY ARE WANTING TO DRILL!

 

 THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSED EXPLORATION AREA ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE WINTER

 

 AND THIS IS WHAT ITACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER

 

HERE ARE A COUPLE SCREEN SHOTS FROM GOOGLE EARTH

 

 

 

 

 

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DRILLING IS A BARREN WASTELAND.

 

 

 

 OH. AND THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE.

 

 HERE IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE SUMMER) OF THE
"DEPLETED WILDLIFE" SITUATION CREATED BY DRILLING AROUND PRUDHOE BAY *.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING?

 

 

 

HERE'S THAT SAME SPOT DURING THE WINTER.

 

 HEY, THIS BEAR SEEMS TO REALLY HATE THE PIPELINE NEAR PRUDHOE BAY *.

*The Prudhoe bay area accounts for 17% of U.S. domestic oil production

 

 

 

 NOW, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE LYING ABOUT ANWR?

 

 REMEMBER WHEN AL GORE SAID THAT
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD WORK TO ARTIFICIALLY  RAISE GAS PRICES
TO $5.00 A GALLON?

 

 WELL, AL GORE AND HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS HAVE ALMOST REACHED THEIR GOAL!

 

 NOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN LYING,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

 

 

 YOU CAN START BY FORWARDING THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
SO THAT THEY WILL KNOW THE TRUTH.
