Dave comment: You can email to your Senator's what you think of a bill threw the link below. Since the provision was revealed late last week, groups on both the Right and the Left have joined together in expressing vocal opposition to this blatant violation of the privacy rights of every American citizen. Please vote NO on the Dodd/Frank Housing Bailout to protect the taxpayers' wallets and privacy. www.capwiz.com/freedomworks/issues/alert/?alertid=11529276 |

Dave comment: let em know what you think: link is below. The most common-sense energy solution in the short term is to increase domestic oil production in the United States by allowing more exploration and drilling. Currently, there is a Congressional moratorium on drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that has been in place for 27 years. This moratorium translates into roughly 85% of the OCS that Congress has declared off-limits for oil exploration and drilling. It simply does not make sense for the United States to allow its domestic oil resources to sit unused and depend on other nations in unstable regions of the world for its energy needs. If the moratorium is lifted, the vast off-shore reserves could be used to decrease America’s dependence on foreign oil and ultimately lower the high price of gasoline. However, the “Pelosi Energy Package” would block any attempt to increase domestic oil production by preventing the opening of new areas for drilling, such as the OCS and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(ANWR). Instead, this proposal would institute a “use it or lose it” policy that would punish oil companies for not developing what are known as “non-producing” federal leases. Pelosi and others in Congress justify this position by claiming that the oil companies are allowing the land to sit idle in order to drive up the cost of fuel. However, the truth is that oil companies have invested billions of dollars in exploration of these leases, and the so-called “non-producing” leases sit idle because they do not contain a commercially viable supply of petroleum. The only economically viable solution to the energy crisis is to drill where it makes sense - in the areas of the OCS that we know contain valuable oil reserves and in Alaska. www.capwiz.com/freedomworks/mailapp/ |
