Re: Elton Gallegly's April 29 commentary, "Time to drill in ANWR":
At last, a member of Congress who is willing to face up to our gas crisis! Kudos to Elton Gallegly for his commentary.
I have traveled to Alaska several times and never met an Alaskan who disapproves of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Alaskans realize the need to start drilling for the 10.4 billion barrels beneath the frozen tundra in the most remote area of their state. A plethora of jobs is also a great incentive for them.
Environmentalists have held our nation hostage while gas prices creep upward to $10 a gallon. These irrational people oppose any new oil refineries or nuclear power plants, which a liberal country like France utilizes to the utmost.
If you're feeling the crunch of gasoline nearing $4 a gallon presently, be sure to vote to send Gallegly back to Congress to fight for those who oppose obscene gasoline prices.
