Selling this cherished Arctic landscape to the highest bidder is a grievous mistake Trip Van Noppen
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the last intact wild landscapes on Earth – and the largest wilderness left in the US. The 19.6m-acre swath of mountains and tundra is publicly owned and ecologically unique. Now, thanks to the Republican tax bill making its way through Congress, a part of the refuge we’ve long fought to protect risks being transferred to the hands of the fossil fuel industry.
History will judge the decision as an egregious error.
The Arctic Refuge is long revered by writers and photographers, and iconic among the ecologically unique wildernesses that conservationists have sought to protect since the early 20th century. The Arctic Refuge can never be restored to its original majesty once roads and pipelines are built, wells and drilling pads are dug, and oil is pumped and spilled.
Public research polling shows that a majority of Americans are strongly opposed to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Analysis also shows that the entire premise for opening the refuge to drilling – to raise revenue to help pay for tax breaks for corporations and the wealthiest Americans – is unrealistic and will do nothing to offset the projected budget deficit. Nevertheless, senator Lisa Murkowski and other drilling proponents forced this controversial measure through as part of the tax bill, which was approved by the US senate on Friday through a simple majority vote.

Yepper, there is a republican write-in senator that decided all by herself, with some lobbyists assholes sitting in her office, that she could just fuck everyone up in Alaska, fuck the tundra, caribou , the water, and Indigenous People that are losing there ground to higher water, and the polar bear, has to go further out into the sea ice to eat and find food.
And then to add more pain, she decided all by herself with the help of the Ayn Rand mentality, to fuck people out of Health care, just like she is going to fuck the water, air, land, and food that this blue marble needs to survive-------------------
Yep Liza Murkowski-----------------FUCK YOU

Take a gander at what this crowd wants to do to the Moon-------------------and it is somewhat a dead object
making there lives miserable , because that is what they are doing----------------they think they are above what they think of is human kind, animal kind----------we need this planet to live, not die--------we have a sun, wind, water, that can be used to help this planet
Liza Murkowski is sick and twisted, she sat in that chair in the senate presidents seat and decided to kill people based on a capitalist idea of Ayn Rand in this tax bill health acre , the have and the have not's.
And if animals had a right to vote, they would vote her out of office.
The Murkowski's of the world can't, and she can not put herself in that position, her imagination of thinking out side that AYN RAND box can't be accomplished, she cannot look at life without money, she just can't
And don't cry, we can all get through this madness, and it starts from yesterday for the planets tomorrow
hug. and back to you
