Republican Pricks Angry Over ANWR Failure. Threaten to Punish The Puget Sound For Daring to Fight Back.

After Sen. Cantwell inserted language into a recent budget bill that would have kept the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge free of oil derricks, Ted Stevens (R-Bridge to Nowhere) retalliated by creating legislation that would end long-standing protection of the Puget Sound from oil spills and shipwrecks. Tell Ted Stevens to go jump off his fancy new bridge.

From Cantwell's site:

Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska has introduced a bill to repeal the Magnuson Amendment, a law written by Washington's own Warren Magnuson in 1977 to limit oil tanker traffic in Puget Sound. The Magnuson Amendment has kept the Cherry Point Refinery near Bellingham from becoming a super-port for oil to be shipped overseas and across the country. Stevens' bill will undo these protections. If it passes, pristine Puget Sound is at risk for oil spills, with little economic or energy benefit to our state.
