Agreed, sloop

THIS IS URGENT- We MUST CALL OUR CONGRESSCRITTERS ASAP!!

Per RedState siren post:

Harry Reid (D-NV) thinking the public and Senate are both distracted by the Paulson plan to bailout Wall Street intends to continue the ban on oil shale drilling.

He is doing it right now.

Call your Senator right now at (202)224-3121 and tell him to tell Harry Reid not to put the drilling ban back in the continuing resolution.

Section 1602 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2008 needs to get tossed.

Here’s what ELSE they want in there:

Oil shale moratorium is back in:

SEC. 1602. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 152 of division A of H.R. 2638 (110th Congress), the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, the terms and conditions contained in section 433 of division F of Public Law 110–161 shall remain in effect for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.

And so is solid waste:

Rural waste, waste water, waste disposal, and solid waste management (both direct loans and grants), $200 million

Weatherization: Underlying bill increases this program by $250 million

Farm Service Agency IT, $171.7 million

ANY added earmark should net the poster an immediate hanging, literally. The democrats constructed this timebomb and now want to take advantage of it to add more pork to their constituent gangs. Harry Reid needs a bullet ... sent int he mail, not fired at him, just as a reminder that he is not the sovereign of America.

Grants for Mass Transit, $2 billion

i don't know about other parts of the country, but in texas we ain't gonna ride in mass transit

85 billion for aig

200 billion for fannie mae

700 billion for saving the economy

25 billion for the automotive industry

remember when millions were an outrage - then it took billions to raise out ire - we are up to trillions now

and while our heads are spinning, the democrats sneak in extensions of bans on recovering our own energy resources

its enough to make me want to 'take to the bed'

WTF.. jeez people on the left are trying to help everybody except BIG OIL!!!
