#3 CITGO, Kennedy and heating oil for New York:

"Our federal government has made billions and billions and billions of dollars just this year on the royalty payments the oil companies pay to the government of the United States," he said.
But when it comes to help for low-income Americans, Kennedy said, "What do we hear from Washington? 'Sorry, boys. There's no money in the till."

I guess Alaskan folks think different that New Yorkers? Nobody spoke up except for the fat boy.

#4 Ummm, Hello fat bobby, you ARE 'The Government of the United States"

How much do you plan to return to the taxpayers?
Oh, None?

#5 I'll chip in a couple of bucks to help our neighbors in the north make it through the winter. So would a large number of US citizens around this nation. We don't need gifts from horse-mouth.

#6 Kudos to the folks passing on Chavez's offer, but considering the many billions in Alaska's Permanent Fund, why aren't these people getting help from the state if they can't pay their fuel bills?
