If the women can’t find you handsome, at least they can find you handy.
But unfortuneately, unless it is done in numbers big enough to actually shut down phone lines and get the medias attention, we are usually ignored.
Every office I call I remind them of their approval rating! lol Just called another one! :~)
LOL Good move!!
“Given that I am in the industry?”
For somebody who is ignorant of the percentage & volume of domestic oil that has been drilled in America for less than $20 a barrel over the past 38 years, I’d say you are in the wrong industry and overpaid! LMAO
bump
Is Cantwell up for re-election this year or 2010? If this year do we have a decent GOP candidate?
So have you called? ;~) People are just finding this out about what the President has promised to do. Give the people a little time to get the news! I’ve called 4 so far. Reminded them of their approval rating, to vote the will of the people, that the US is the safest in the world when it comes to drilling, that there were no spills during any of the Gulf hurricanes, etc. ~ and their job is NOT secure come this November!
Yeah, me too. Expect it to continue to allow individual states to ban it in waters off their coasts. Which, if so, will mean that we still can't go after a lot of oil. Like the dipwads in CA & FL. Although I'd like to know what right FL has to say anything about drilling 100 miles out.
In my opinion, Kellynla, you are really out of line.
Someone is offering you some valid information, and you insult him. Shame on you.
You know, the ban that clinton imposed as quid pro quo payment for the Riadys
In campaign 2000 one of issue was that he would review all of Clinton's land grab EO's. If he ever did he must have agreed with all of them as he hasn't lifted a single one. I'm still hacked about that.
Good for him. Let the games begin...
Haven’t a clue. I just moved here within the past couple years and don’t know much about the reps yet. With the election coming up, I’m about to start the crash course.
Hmm, he’ll be Green Red?
LOL
This was the correct time to do it. Even so congress has to lift their end to open the drilling. If they don’t it puts them in a bad light.
Regardless it will surely help reduce prices in a trickle type effect over time.
It is about time we as a people started some type of petition to our congress to lift the ban and put pressure on them to do so. Political creatures that they are won’t disapprove of it when elections are coming up if we make enough noise.
On September 12, 2001 it would have been supported wholeheartedly.
Way to go, Mr. President!
Nevermind. She is due for re-election in 2012.
