Drill Here, Drill Now. Keep The Pressure On.
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?
Governor Palin from February: Ethics, Energy, and the VP
Video of Governor Palin speaking to CSPAN back in February. She spent a good deal of time talking about ethics and energy. She also answered the (at the time) hypothetical question about being John McCain’s running mate.
Could Opposition to Domestic Drilling Be About Money?
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 [...]
Don’t Be Fooled.
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 Is Dropping… Keep up the Fight.
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 [...]
To Saxby Chambliss, Lindsey Graham and others…
… let me provide you with the words from the late Senator from North Carolina, Jesse Helms. “Compromise, hell!”
Five Republicans That DO NOT Deserve Your Support.
Republican Senators Lindsey Graham, John Thune, Saxby Chambliss, Bob Corker and Johnny Isakson along with five Democratic Senators have formed a new “Gang of 10″.
Call To Action: Send Gas Receipts to Congress
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 [...]
Latest Design: Looney 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 [...]
Why These Republicans Deserve Your Support
House Republicans revolted today, trying to get domestic drilling started to lessen the burden on American taxpayers and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Members participating in the spontaneous uprising included Reps. Roy Blunt, John Boehner, Michael Burgess, John Campbell, Eric Cantor, Shelly Moore Capito, John Carter, Mike Conaway, John Culberson, Charlie Dent, Jeff Fortenberry, Virginia [...]
Republicans Force Offshore Drilling Debate
…or at least attempt to. “Senate Republicans have threatened to block nearly all other bills pending before the August recess if Democrats refuse to vote with them on expanding offshore drilling.”
Thank You President Bush.
Yesterday I filled up with regular unleaded at $3.78 a gallon… the cheapest I had seen (if you can call that cheap) in a while. I found out a few miles away, another service station actually had it for $3.69. Wish I had gone there.
What caused the drop in crude futures and thus the price of gas at the pump? Certainly President Bush’s repeal of an executive order banning drilling off the coastal shelf had something to do with it. Now imagine if Congress actually acted and allowed drilling to start. How much more could oil (and gas) prices fall?
Gas Tax Increase?
According to this FoxNews article, there are members of Congress quietly talking about INCREASING the Federal Gas Tax another Dime per gallon?
Apparently there’s not enough money in the Highway Trust Fund, so at this time of record high gas prices and an economy on verge of recession, our leaders are actually considering sticking it to us even more with 54.35% federal gas tax increase.
Finally. Bush lifts offshore drilling ban, Part 1
Well, President Bush has done his part, lifting the executive order that prohibited offshore drilling. Now its congress’ turn. Any guesses how long it will take them?
Any other year, and I’d bet they’d hold off indefinitely. But this is an election year and the masses (myself included) are plenty ticked about gas [...]
