Be sure to READ THIS!!

Please continue prayers for Trueblackman

CONGRESSMAN MIKE PENCE Joins Bill Collier of DontGo on BTR!

Today, Tuesday, August 26th at 4:30 pm EDT!

DON'T MISS THIS SHOW!

 

Brokaw, Pelosi and Pickens

"Media" Tries to Downplay Pelosi's Abuse of Power

But the REAL Media Says "NOT SO FAST!"

 

Dwalsh

 

DON'T STOP FOLKS!!

JUST SAY NO TO GANGS!!

Congressman John R Carter of Texas says Gang of 10 a "Bad Deal"

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a total lack of our "Establishment Media/Misinformation Socialist Monarchy" reporting on the price of gas and food for the past 2 weeks?

New FTC Rule Could Apply To Pelosi

After reading this post I decided to pull up her financial disclosure report and look for any other natural gas producers. On 11/8/07, she purchased between $250,001 and $500,000 of Quest Energy Partners, LP. (see pages 12 and 18). According to its site (http://qelp.publishpath.com), “The Partnership owns more than 2,300 wells and is the largest producer of natural gas in the Cherokee Basin, which is located in southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma and holds a drilling inventory of nearly 2,100 locations.”

Either she is so arrogant to think that nobody would find out that she is profiting by holding up new drilling and refining initiatives or she thinks nobody can touch her.

Has anybody checked Harry “The Body” Reid’s financial disclosure form? I’d say check Obama’s too but he hasn’t done anything but give speeches.

BEHOLD the Power of the People, and the Power of

 

Nancy: "most open, most honest, and most ethical Congress in history"

Nancy: "and Democrats promise to work together in a bi-partisan way for all Americans."

What is the truth about Nancy?

"Madam Speaker has a substantial amount of money invested in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation." dontgo

"T Boone Pickens runs CLNE, this is the company Nancy has invested in, and apparently, the push is Natural Gas, which is the focus of the $5 billion in Ca. tax money and $5 billion in fed money they are seeking."

From the same article:

"the investors in this ponzi scheme are banking on keeping the price of energy high, keeping the supply of domestic oil low on the basis of “environmental concerns”, and getting the government to invest BILLIONS in their plans, which will concentrate energy resources into fewer hands while making them all filthy rich."

"Only 20% of Americans now oppose offshore drilling.." Rasmussen

We have THREE DEMANDS for both the House AND the Senate! (call both House and Senate offices)

1) Congress MUST STOP PROTECTING Nancy's purse, get back to Washington, DC and vote on the American Energy Act!

2) Begin an IMMEDIATE investigation into CLNE, Pelosi, and other investors!

3) Demand that the Broadcaster Freedom Act be brought to the floor for a vote!

MELT THE LINES TODAY FOLKS!!!

 

As for the Gang of 10.

I had several conversations with these offices yesterday. They NEED to hear from us.

WE WANT THE BOEHNER BILL!

1) The House (Republican and Dem) has heard the people and know that this is the bill we want.

2) The Senate (this may be a surprise to some) actually represents the EXACT same people the House does! (amazing isn't it)

3) PREGO! yes, PREGO! It's in there! Boehner's Bill includes renewables, solar, wind, nuclear, AND drilling.

4) We don't want "something done" for the sake of "getting something done." WE WANT A SOLUTION!

5) If ANYTHING needs to added to the Boehner bill it is this, we need to allow drilling without interference of baseless lawsuits from anti-progress, anti-independence yahoos.

6) If BOEHNER'S BILL is not able to pass the Senate- then let the PEOPLE see that the Republicans offered solutions, and the Dems BAWKED!

7) If nothing gets passed-- well, the sunset on the congressional moretoreum will expire and then.......

LET THE DRILLING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!

Call the "Gang"

Lindsey Graham

John Thune

Saxby Chambliss

Bob Corker

Johnny Isakson

A question for Nancy Pelosi, hands-down winner of the 2008 Box of Rocks award. SanFranNan, where does natural gas, that “alternative to fossil fuels,” come from? Might is be, oh, I don’t know ... UNDERGROUND? To power the entire vehicle fleet of the United States you’d need to DRILL how many wells?

During the INITIAL offering, before the stock was offered in public, the stock was sold to a select group of investors for $3.86 per share, and this amounted to around 125,000 shares. Pelosi made her purchase on the day the stock was offered, which makes one suspicious that she was able to get the stock at the lower price. Her close ties to Hambrecht, a liberal activist who gives $80,000 per year to liberal causes, make one suspect that she had to have been in on the offering but we cannot prove this.

You know, too darn many in the political elite on both sides of the aisle participate in deals like this. How can so many politicians, who can barely find two cents of their own to rub together, go to DC, knock down a nice, but not excessive salary, and emerge wealthy? There's a real story here if anyone would actually track it down.

As always, thanks for these threads!

The Queen Bee thinks Oil Companies Should Pay Royalties.

“You want to talk about drilling offshore? Let’s talk about profits made by the oil companies without paying royalties,” Pelosi said Monday morning before members of the California delegation to the Democratic National Convention. “They’re taking your oil without paying any royalties.”

The old defense that “They’re ALL crooks, so just ignore this deal” just doesn’t wash.

Pelosi belongs in jail for this, not just out of the Speaker’s office.

The clowns in the MSM (aka Dem Propaganda Ministry) who are stonewalling it can go in the cells down the hall.

Drill Now Revolt Continues

Today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi jets her way into the fourth week of her book tour with a dismal sales rank (as of Saturday night) on Amazon.com of 22,184th. Some 22,183 books are selling better than Pelosi’s own as House Republicans maintain their high-voltage revolt on Capitol Hill and nationwide demanding that Pelosi bring the House back into session for a vote to end the Congressional embargo on offshore drilling.

Instead of returning to debate their colleagues on practical energy policy last week, Democrats kept floating their wacky ideas. Democrat Majority Leader Steny Hoyer asked the Office of Personnel Management to provide him with “a comprehensive analysis” of a transition by federal government employees to a four-day work week.


LOL. Maybe the 4 day work week is the Dem's answer to conserving energy.

Glad her highest priority isn't going well.

I really have my fingers crossed that what our House Heros are doing will get national attention - and be in stark contrast to what their Dem colleagues are doing while the Dem convention is going on.

BTTT!


What Congress might do on the offshore drilling issue (Pelosi's in no position to "compromise")

"Q: I read your article regarding the limit on offshore drilling for oil that is set to expire on Sept. 30. What if the speaker of the House will not even bring it up for a vote? Does that mean the ban on most drilling will expire and we could start more drilling? This article really got me thinking, because I watch a lot of the news programs and no one has mentioned this. I would appreciate your comments, because that was one of the most interesting articles that I have read recently.

A: Thank you for your positive feedback.

My understanding, from speaking with various folks who keep close tabs on Congress, is that the Democratic-controlled House is seeking to combine an extension of the ban on most drilling for another year with the annual spending bill, which will be waiting for congressional action upon their return from vacation in early September. If Republicans stick to their guns and oppose the annual budget bill because it includes another extension of the offshore drilling limit, this could lead to a government shutdown if a compromise isn't reached by the end of September..."

It's Unwise To Tax 'Well-Earned' Profits

"There are certain laws you can break without serious repercussions, but the laws of economics are far less forgiving. And history shows that we will all pay a hefty fine if lawmakers choose to enact a "windfall" profits tax as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has just proposed and Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama supports.

Talk of a "windfall" profits tax turns up, like a bad penny, when politicians catch on that Americans have become frustrated by high gas prices. The concept is simple: Politicians, who are no more popular than high energy prices right now, see an easy scapegoat. So they slap an extra tax on the "bad guy" and take a bow.

... we tried a windfall profits tax from 1980 to 1988. A report by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service concluded that this tax reduced domestic oil production by 3% to 6% and increased oil imports in the range of 8% to 16%. History has shown that a windfall profits tax increased U.S. dependence on foreign oil. It would do so again if repeated.

This real-life history proves the economic theory for why windfall profits negatively impact progress toward cheaper gas and increased supply of alternative fuels..."
