The only way to get our country back it to vote the idiots out of office. This November and in 2012. I fear for the damage that can still be done between now and then. Pray folks, pray for this to turn around. And vote for this to end.

No. Oil Drillers WILL face months of delay after the ban.

Bammy has destroyed offshore oil drilling . . . . . . . and the thousands of jobs that go with it.

I wonder how many of those were Obama voters . . . . . . until now??

When Congress lifted the cap on liability, it effectively
eliminated the small and medium sized players from drilling.

Anyone who can:

Get a copy of the Fall 2010 issue of RANGE Magazine.

Look at article that starts on page 48 & read it all.

Look hard at the map on page 50. It completely encompasses the Bakken Oil Field find.

This is another attempt to get land set aside with the same designations as Wilderness & keep this oil from being drilled.

Aren’t there several Indian reservations in the area? Looks like they will get some really long laterals off of their surface.
