Klobuchar, Franken press for ANWR protection

Franken and Klo-ie need to stick to locking up their own state and reading a bit before they open their fat mouths. ANILCA Section 1209 states very clearly that no study for removal , nor any removal of Federal lands can take place in the State of Alaska without the approval of Congress. THIS IS THE LAW!!!!! Section 101 (d) goes on to state that ALL the Federal government’s quota for land acquisitions in the State of Alaska , whether they be for national monuments, national parks, wildlife refuges etc. have been met. That is specifically why they call this the NO MORE CLAUSE! and why Clinton rescinded his ANWR “monument” attempt. ANILCA protects Alaska from the enviro nut jobs like the comedian show man and his buddy Klo-ie that reside in the D camp on the Hill and with the dozens of hypocritical green groups that swindle money out of people worldwide meanwhile jumping in their SUVs and flying in their planes and typing on their PLASTIC keyboards. Hmmm must have just appeared out of thin air! Fancy that, energy from nothing???? Franken is a joke

I am a lifelong and Alaska Native Alaskan. I have supported the Alaska Native subsistence lifestyle and desire to retain the use of the lands of Alaska for decades of civic service. However, ANWR is a red herring. It has protections in place. It is HUGE, it is not THREATENED. We are facing a great many other threats that will destroy our Native life: The State of Alaska does not recognize Alaska Native Subsistence hunting and fishing (it is only protected on Federal Lands, and under great restrictions), our villages desperately need infrastructure such as high speed internet and alternative energy to survive. However, these needs are considered “earmarks” and now will be harder yet for our Congressional delegation to provide. ARCTIC OFFSHORE OIL development will be a much GREATER THREAT than any ANWR development will ever be. Mr. Franken and Friends, if you truly want to protect and help Alaska’s Native Peoples, write a letter against off shore development. Also, kill Pebble Mine in Western Alaska. And kill the very great threat of Sen. McCaskill’s (D) anti-Native federal contracting bill. This bill is a bad bill and will do more harm to AK Native’s economy than any development in ANWR. I am a political liberal who believes in common sense and this chest banging from both sides will not get us any closer to resolution of real problems.
