Oil prices have dropped to around $56 a barrel. T. Boone Pickens was on Fox this morning talking about delaying his push for alternative energy because oil and natural gas prices are too low to drive demand for wind farms. Mr. Pickens then went on to say he expects oil demand to exceed “peak oil” in the near future and prices to go back up.

Oil dropped below $100 today. Hitting $99.99 in New York. It’s only a penny, but its the best looking penny I’ve seen in quite a while. With OPEC cutting production and a hurricane in the gulf, why is oil still dropping?

“Obama is way off-base on all that. I think those politicians who don’t understand that we need more domestic supply of energy flowing into our hungry markets [are] living in la-la land. And we’re in a world of hurt if they’re agenda continues to be to lock up these safe, secure, domestic supplies of energy.”

Certainly not your money, because like most Americans, you are feeling the pain at the gas pump. But what about Speaker Nancy Pelosi? What if she had purchased between $50,000 and $100,000 in an IPO for a alternative fuel company? She did just that on May 27, 2007. Makes you wonder [...]

Supposedly Nancy Pelosi is now open to voting on domestic drilling. The media is going to carry this bag for her, but don’t be fooled. If domestic drilling amounts to the supposed “compromise” Lindsey Graham, Saxby Chambliss and three other Republican Senators worked out in their Gang of Ten, don’t expect the oil [...]

Crude futures are still dropping, trading below $114 a barrel, the lowest level since May. There are a lot of reasons for the current declines… a big part of it is demand continuing to stay lower than previous years as Americans adjust their driving habits to a tight family budget. Another big part [...]

Some Senators and Representatives are asking constituents to send their gas receipts along with stories of how prices have affected their families to Congress. Senator Inhofe has asked Oklahomans, Representative Bill Sali has asked his constituents in Iowa. Whether your elected officials are asking or not… send it to them so Nancy Pelosi [...]

She can’t sell books, and she certainly isn’t presiding over the most open and most ethical Congress in history, or doing the people’s work while she’s off shilling her wares on a 5-week paid vacation. She’s blocking a vote on drilling domestically for oil even while the us real Americans are suffering at the [...]

Keeping your tires inflated is certainly a good thing, very few people will disagree. John McCain doesn’t disagree, neither do I. So when John McCain said “I agree with the American Automobile Association. We should all inflate our tires,” Barack Obama jumped on this as if it was some sort of flip flop. Of [...]

Yesterday we released three new Pro Domestic Drilling T-Shirts. We also have some “Drill Now Yard Signs” to be released later today. Keep the pressure on Washington, and support representatives who are not accepting Nancy Pelosi’s “NO” and Barack Obama’s gimmicks.

Are people so blinded by Obama’s charisma that they are really going to give him a pass on everything. Can you imagine if President Bush said the answer to struggling American families who can’t afford $4 per gallon gas was to inflate their times? Liberals would have a field day. But some how that ridiculous assertion is ok because it comes from the egomaniacal socialist Barack Obama.
