I think Palin can ride this energy theme into the White House as an EXPERT, which is something the rest of the field cannot.

I don’t think Texans get checks when oil companies drill there.

If every state could go to the Alaskan model, it could turn the whole country around.

I don’t think Texans get checks when oil companies drill there.

Individual Texans get a check from the minerals rights they lease. Mineral rights are individual owned and can be sold separate from the surface land in Texas and many other states.

If every state could go to the Alaskan model, it could turn the whole country around.

If you want to take individual owned mineral rights from the individual owners, Texas or elsewhere, you better come prepared for a fight.

Number one....Palin isn't an Energy EXPERT. And NONE of the past 10 POTUS have been.

Secondly....if you own the property that is being drilled in TEXAS and in OK....you get paid. Even in OSAGE Co, OK....where the Osage Tribe owns all the minerals...you will get paid for access.

Thirdly...I'd be hard pressed to give up my property rights...so everyone in my state could get a check.
