Quick votes neededin a SD poll re drilling in ANWR
This paper sometimes turn their polls off pretty early - but if you have a minute to register a quick vote, the folks in Alaska would appreciate it.

Sen. Thune is spending taxpayer $$ for a "tour"
of the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve.

Should the ANWR be exploited for oil?
Please register your opinion in
Friday's Argus Leader poll.

Your opinion counts
even if you are outside the paper's reader area.

4. I voted no for you
I think this trip is just so those guys can have a nice Alaska vacation at the taxpayers' expense ... they were all going to support drilling in ANWR anyway. Maybe they'll get caught in a blizzard up there and freeze to death.

10. Bush Team Readying Backdoor Route to Drill Arctic Refuge
Having been thwarted repeatedly in its effort to open Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling for oil, the Bush Administration and its Congressional leadership have come up with a plan for a sneak attack on the issue.

Rather than holding a straightforward vote on the Senate floor, where strong public opposition halted drilling in the past few years, House and Senate members are quietly planning instead to attach the drilling measure to upcoming budget legislation, where it would be all but impossible to stop (budget bills are exempt from filibuster or extended debate).
