Carol's News and Vues

Welcome! Please take the time to add your own comments so this blog can encourage an exchange of ideas. You can comment anonymously. Since George Bush finally did get elected, we have much to be concerned about in the next four years. I guess that means that this blog will continue.

Sadly, the Democrats Must Share the Shame

The Democrats are part of the problem. Yesterday, three Democrats voted against the Cantwell Amendment No. 168 which would have eliminated funding for drilling in the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge. The vote was 51/49. The amendment was defeated.

The three Democrats who could have defeated the amendment with their yea votes are:

Akaka, D-HI
Inouye, D-HI
Landrieu, D-LA

Seven Republicans parted from their party and voted for the amendment. Hats off to:

Chafee, R-RI
Coleman, R-MN
Collins, R-ME
DeWine, R-OH
McCain, R-AZ
Smith, R-OR
Snowe, R-ME

There are some Republicans who care about our environment. And there are some Democrats who don't.

    Here is a republican who doesn't care about the environment, he tells citizens the industry has a good record?
    Citizens need help but they must spread the word, humans, wildlife and aquatic life are being polluted by toxic chemicals while the government and corporations legally loot and pollute. An onshore and offshore environmental crime created by the government!
