Regardless of three years of being shot down by congress on this issue, it seems this administration couldnt care less what the people want if its on the agenda. ANWR drilling has been slipped into the freakin' Budget, thus no Filibuster , no real vote.
The deception just pisses me off.
"We encourage you to reject any requests that are intended to misuse the budget process to open the refuge to oil and gas drilling and exploration," the Democratic lawmakers said.
The Senate Budget Committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on whether to include the ANWR leasing revenue in the government's 2007 budget.
Last week, 24 House Republicans sent a letter to House Budget Committee chairman, Republican Rep. Jim Nussle (news, bio, voting record), urging him to keep Arctic refuge drilling out of the 2007 budget bill.
