You hear people today saying that using food for fuel is immoral. What’s really immoral is not being allowed new drilling in Alaska for 30 years.

Yes, during the last 30 years one small spot in Alaska has — and is — producing 400,000 barrels per day. We could do this in hundreds of spots and make money for our country while dropping the price of oil and, of course, the price of gasoline.

There have been reports that there is as much oil in Alaska as in Saudi Arabia. Also, think of the thousands of American jobs that would be created.

Let’s get started! All we need is congressional approval.

    What did you do on Black Friday?
    Out shopping as soon as the stores opened.
    Waited until the early rush crowds thinned out and then went shopping.
    Took my time and went shopping later in the day.
    Did all my shopping online.
    Spent the day doing anything BUT shopping.
