Okay, so this is a re-post from April of 2006, but it could not be more relevant nor time sensitive, given the fact that the democrats are all saying “not in my backyard!” about drilling for our own natural resources. Bravo for President Bush today for putting the call out for more exploration in our own country – a call long overdue.

I have seen very few sites that have stated the case for ANWR more than the ANWR homepage itself. But, they have a new slick, very informative and compelling flashmovie, Narrated by a Native Inupiat Eskimo from that area. His name is Fenton Rexford, from Kaktovik, Alaska. I truly can’t improve on the website’s content, so I’m just going to share some of it with you here. I do urge you, however, to visit the site and look around.

Here’s a bit about the local support:

Organizations representing the residents of the Coastal Plain and surrounding area such as the City of Kaktovic, Kaktovik Inupiat Corporation, North Slope Borough, Arctic Slope Regional Corp., Doyon Regional Corporation and Alaskan Federation of Natives have all endorsed development based on their experience with Prudhoe Bay.
