Drill Here, Drill Now- (Live Thread, Day X)
8/14/08 | Sherri Reese

Posted on 08/14/2008 6:33:52 AM PDT by eeevil conservative

Be sure to READ THIS!!

New FTC Rule Could Apply To Pelosi

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

 

HERE is the House Bill

HERE is the "press release" from our "Gang"

No matter WHAT excuse or explanation they give you. You tell them- WE WANT THE HOUSE BILL- THERE IS NO NEED FOR GANGS! NONE! THIS IS WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT!

You make it sound so simple. But tell me, where will we get all the rigs to do this with? There is a strong reality here to face.

call your own Congressman....

the ethics committee is a total waste of time— they cannot tell us anything— and they are “already aware” of the situation....

We need our Congressmen to shine a light on this— talk about it, move on it, etc......

the more public pressure for an investigation— the more likely we are to get one— and enormous pressure will HELP with trying to get an honest and fair one....

You seem to have all the answers, you tell me how. I would love to expand my own career in the process.

The founding fathers named the right to property five times in the US Constitution. At the root, that was John Locke’s influence on the American Enlightenment.

Put thus, James Madison said “He who takes your property does not respect your ideas”. That was very astute.

We also have different views that for each individual to decide for him/herself is the most effective means of achieving economic recovery if not also prolonged prosperity. The country prospers if individuals are allowed to prosper. That happens when the government gets out of the way. Once the government gets involved, there is no incentive to solve any problem.

If you choose America only, the most effective manner is via boycott. That is a powerful tool. Just ask the French after 2003.

Unbelievable.

We are talking about the beltway brain vacuum down that way.

Excuses have nothing to do with it. Every single drilling rig on this Continent is already committed to do just that and most are already booked for years in advance. This is the best we can do with what we currently have.

You know almost nothing about this industry or how it works. You are simply one of the shouters making demands you cannot back up.

You might try taking a breather, settle down and approach this from a more logical and reserved position. Or at least switch to decaf.

Well, that is one of the things that go into starting now. It's time to figure these things out and move forward. Until there is a guarantee to drill, there will be no work done on these issues. You, on the other hand try to make it so difficult. Start planning now....Strong realities are all over the place. Here's one for you...we have been reduced to a one income family right now because one of us got laid off due to the economy. High fuel costs were the determining factor. There's my strong reality. DRILL HERE! DRILL NOW!

Ordinarily, Sherri, I'd agree with you thoroughly. Pelosi is undoubtedly corrupt in general and in a huge conflict of interest specifically regarding Pickens' project.

That said, I'm thinking through all the Regressional 'investigations' that I can recall just now, and you know what? Nothing ever comes of them. Indictments? Only of designated fall guys. Resignations? Nope, not even Harrison Williams (remember him from Abscam?).

The Regressional ''ethics'' committee is a bad joke. Proof? Certainly: were it not, not less than half the Regress would have seen multiple complaints against them, as well as multiple censures. Hmmm...must've missed them all (I hate it when that happens...).

Sorry, luv -- waste of time (and, of course, money).

LOL!!

I know so much more about this than you think dear....

but your condescending attitude it quite comical...

I don’t spend my time sitting around making excuses about why things cannot be done. Like our forefathers, and the many important Americans who used ingenuity, initiative, and drive to acheive great things— many of us realize that the gov’t get in the way of progress, they do not advance it.

I am breathing fine...my logic is just fine...but thank you for your concern....

maybe you could be more constructive with your air intake and logic, by “laughing at our silliness”- and move onto another thread where you help inspire progress instead of embaressing all of us with you great knowledge and our rapid breathing lack of logic.....

You just contradicted yourself. Tell me what investor will stick 20 to 100 million dollars into one drilling rig or platform on the grounds that there might be a need for it in a year or so?

I understand your frustration in what has happened to your income capacity. But there are no guarantees in life unless you cater to Socialism and believe that the rest of the world owes you security and prosperity.

I have been in this industry for the last 35 years and am rather high up the poll in regards to which drilling rig or company goes where. I have a good handle on what is real and what is not.

Here’s the statement from:
Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ):

QUOTE
“Ninety percent of delays in getting oil on line are due to government red tape. Within less than a month, we can get oil into tanks.”

I believe you when you say that he’s being unrealistic. I would also suggest that there have been a considerable amount of changes to the technology, which may account for a wide variation of the estimates we hear about how long it would take.

maybe you are right SAJ-—

so should we all just sit back and accept that we the people are just going to have to suck it up when it comes to the corruption?

If a 360 lb man comes into my house to rape me— I am not going to listen to some voice saying “Honey- he is too big- fighting him is useless.”

I am going to be kicking, screaming, and fighting the whole way....

just my spunky, illogical, spirit, I guess!

;-)

I just so happen to be one of those people developing that new drilling technology as well as several new fields; North Dakota, just recently.

But you can take the word of a Congressman who has never set foot on a drilling location in his life than listen to me. Perhaps you should go to these fields then and straighten all of us ignorant fools out on what we have been doing so wrong for all of these years. We need all the help we can get right now.
