no doubt someone will get rich from that
I read here on FR a couple of months ago, and no I did not save the article, Palin was for Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) when she was governor. At that point in my mind I said, “screw you, Palin,”

CLEAR Act.
Originally introduced in the House of Representatives September 8, 2009 by Congressman Nick Rahall (D-WV), H.R. 3534: Consolidated Land, Energy, and Aquatic Resources Act of 2009, passed on July 30 this year by a vote of 209 - 193 with 31 present/not voting.
Of the 209 “yea” votes, all were Democrats except Tim Johnson (R-IL), and Vernon Ehlers (R-MI). Of the 31 present/not voting all but 9 were Republicans.
Although it’s painfully obvious the vote was split down party lines, the Republicans had the numbers to defeat the CLEAR Act considering that 39 Democrats sided with them voting “nay” and a simple majority only was required.
Critics of CLEAR point to the fact that it, “...assesses a Conservation Fee of $2 per barrel of oil and 20 cents per million BTUs of natural gas for all leases on Federal onshore and offshore lands (Section 802),” which they contend, “will jettison America’s energy prices for oil and gas through the roof.”
Even the non-partisan website govtrack.us reports that the estimated cost of the House version of the legislation would be $70 PER AMERICAN from 2011-2020.
Opposition website cautions, “The CLEAR Act (H.R. 3534) is a thinly disguised permanent roadblock to American energy which drives American companies out of the Gulf, delays future drilling, increases dependence on foreign oil, and kills tens of thousands of good paying U.S. energy jobs.”

Do they feel this won't make the news or something or do they just not care now that they feel they are going to lose control of Congress?
Ref my post #28.
I thought the article I had read was a few weeks ago. This one is more recent. It could very well be the same one but thought the one I had read was more in the past but wasn’t after all.
Thanks for the information.
The marxists in Washington think this country got rich unjustly and that it should give away its riches to all those poor, downtrodden countries.
