    Stick to the facts -

    Palin MORE THAN DOUBLED TAXES on Alaskan oil production causing a severe decline in production. She used the $6 billion in new taxes to triple the "profit sharing" check paid to every Alaskan - including over $11,000 to her own family.

    McCain wants to increase our reliance on nuclear energy. 92% of the uranium used in civilian power plants is IMPORTED - 32% is imported from RUSSIA.

    Decreasing oil producrtion and increased dependence on Russia for our energy.

    Is that good policy??????
