Today over lunch, in a conversation over the Middle East and the powder keg that is the world we 
live into today, my young brother Chuck (pictured to the right) uttered yet another reason to open up ANWR for oil and gas exploration – National Defense and Homeland Security.
The world is one nuclear strike away from all out chaos and despair and the rogue regimes in the Middle East that control the world’s oil production have too much control over our economy and over our defense capabilities. Our defense machinery runs on oil and gas, from tank fuel to jet fuel and our reliability for supply is tenuous at best.
So, again, we call upon the President to exercise his constitutional authority and SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER authorizing the exploration and development of our own oil and gas resources in the ANWR region of Alaska – for the express purpose of ensuring adequate supplies for our national security needs first and economic needs second.
