U.S. Taxpayers to Provide Financing To Brazil for “Their” Offshore Drilling
September 3, 2009 by Capt. Karl
| Dear Karl,
Activists like you won an amazing policy victory last year when public outrage forced Congress to finally end its ban on offshore drilling, after 26 long years of keeping America’s vast energy resources in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) locked up and off the market.A year later, the Obama administration is doing everything it can to drag its feet and prevent us from accessing American energy resources. They are trying to ignore the millions of Americans who demanded access to American energy resources by secretly putting the ban back in place. Even more amazing and outrageous: the Obama administration is now actually poised to lend $2 billion from U.S. taxpayers to the Brazilian national oil company, Petrobras, for offshore drilling in Brazil. This administration is actually going to force you to pay for offshore drilling in Brazil, at the same time they try to block offshore drilling here in America! Fortunately, you can do something about it. The Obama administration is required by law to listen to public comments on the subject of energy exploration and production in the OCS. Please click here to tell the Obama administration to allow offshore drilling here in America! Offshore drilling in the OCS would be a real economic stimulus that would create jobs and economic growth by actually producing something. A study from ICF International estimates more than 160,000 well-paying American jobs would be created from allowing oil and gas drilling offshore. Government policy to prevent these jobs by banning access to our own resources is completely unacceptable at a time of 9.4 percent unemployment. According to federal government estimates, the OCS contains 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. We all remember what a hardship it was when gas prices spiked over $4 a gallon last year. We also remember being told that allowing drilling wouldn’t help because it could take years for the new energy sources to reach the market. Well that’s why we can’t wait until the next price spike to start drilling. We need to drill here in America, and do it now. Please click here to tell the Obama administration to allow offshore drilling here in America! We only have three weeks until the docket closes on September 21 to make our voices heard, and the radical environmentalists will be sure to weigh in from the other side. Please comment today and pass this email on to anyone you know who can help. Sincerely, Phil Kerpen Director of Policy Americans for Prosperity http://facebook.com/PhilKerpen

Dear readers of The Liberty Tree Lantern,
We have been posting several articles about the importance of the Obama Administration to release the leases to the oil companies so that we the people of America can benefit from the MASSIVE quantities of energy that our dear Lord has blessed us with in the western federal lands as well as offshore all around America and in Alaska. Once we rebuild America from the collapse of “The MATRIX” we are going to really need a lot of “domestic” energy to supply the huge economy that will be created from the U.S. Government being FORCED to comply with the LAWs that we wrote in the Constitution to bind them to ONLY SEVENTEEN ‘enumerated’ things, “listed” in the Constitution, that We The People ‘borrowed’ them OUR authority that we were given by God, to handle. When our Government collapses down to the size and spending level called for in the enumerated powers clauses, it will only be 1/5th its current size and spending level. The balance will remain in our productive hands and in our economy. That is going to take a huge amount of energy where we need ALL SOURCES of energy to feed, because then the vast majority of our average common citizens will become wealthy off of their own hard work, sweat and risk.
In the meantime we could all use a little relief at the pump and on our utility bills. Once all of these leases are released by Obama and his Administration, the cost of a barrel of oil will drop dramatically and will aid our economy and employment immensely.
So please so contact our Government and follow the recommendation of my friend Mr. Phil Kerpin. – - Capt. Karl
[...] The Liberty Tree Lantern is happy to provide just one story, of dozens of available, regarding domestic American energy just waiting for the Obama Administration to let us produce the energy we so desperately need to lower our costs of everything. Please send a personal message to Congress via, paper, e-mail and phone that you want Obama to release the drilling leases immediately. Tell them to DRILL HERE AND DRILL NOW! (Do you know that Obama is stealing American taxpayer money to “give” to Brazil for ‘them’ to drill for oil offshore?
