If we the people would make the ‘decison’ to force the Obama Administration to release Oil and Gas drilling leases, WHERE THE OIL and GAS IS, the price of energy would plummet because there are many HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of barrels of crude oil and untold volumes of natural gas in the Western Federal Lands and Offshore. The US Government IS selling leases all over America and even offshore in areas that they are confidently sure there is no Oil or Gas.

Numerous studies have documented how the grossly misnamed Affordable Energy Act of 2009, also known as Cap and Trade or more accurately Cap and Tax, will raise the cost of energy for every American. If the cost of all energy rises dramatically, will industrial production stay in this country or will it move to China or India that is not constrained by the cost of energy regulations? China and India already enjoy a significant cost advantage over American producers in many fields; this will just exacerbate that advantage.

God created all sorts of energy resources, only a few of which have been developed and utilized to drive our economy. Energy is the life blood of freedom and it is what allows our economy to produce individual wealth for all Americans. And, this is why energy, in all forms, is so very important to the average working American. Cheap inexpensive oil is what results in the costs of everything to go down to reasonable affordable levels for us all. When energy is inexpensive it is also an incentive for Americans to start new small businesses, because then it is easier to make a good profit, and therefore lower energy costs results in hundreds of thousands of new jobs and allows for significant increases in money available for wages on the shop floor or out in the field.

Almost half of the Americans who responded to a new poll say they have concerns about the impact of carbon dioxide on the climate, but two out of three say they have no interest whatsoever in opening their wallets to pay for any mitigation.

Asked whether they “believe that man-produced carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases will induce catastrophic climate change” if unaddressed, 49.6 percent of the respondents said yes. Twenty-seven percent said no, and 23.4 percent were uncertain. The concern from Democrats and Republicans was reversed with Democrats saying 10-1 yes and Republicans saying 2-1 no.

“Our mission is to present a unified voice of concern over the current administration’s policies regarding taxation, our economy, foreign and domestic policy, as well as our individual constitutional rights as American citizens,” said Grassfire national coordinator Darla Dawald in an open invitation to the public to join the Sept. 12 taxpayer march in Washington, D.C. “America is in trouble, the problems and issues are broad and complex and it will take a monumental effort to stop, change and reverse the destructive course that this administration and Congress has put us on. Together, We the People can effect that change!”

“People want to do this,” he said. “The people who have been protesting around the country want to come to Washington and do this in D.C. In a lot of ways, they are being ignored and the media is underrepresenting them and their numbers. They want to come together for one big event and send a very clear message.”

The U.S. House of Representatives may vote this Friday on the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009” (the Waxman-Markey bill). We need the many voices of the Partnership for America’s Energy Security to write and call your legislators, urging them to oppose this harmful and misguided legislation.

Addressing climate change is an important issue, and the U.S. oil and natural gas industry has made substantial commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The industry supports balanced legislation to reduce greenhouse gases and replace the patchwork of state and federal regulatory programs, but the Waxman-Markey bill is not the answer. This hastily drafted legislation would:

Significantly increase consumer and business costs for gasoline and other fuels;

Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) modified their global warming proposal from the draft version published on March 31. For the most part, the changes focused on the distribution of the allowance revenue–the equivalent of tax revenue.

There was also a slight easing of targeted emissions reductions for 2020, which resulted in a marginally lower economic impact. However, the new distribution of allowances created a less efficient pattern of government expenditures and more than offset the gain from the lower cap for 2020.

Late last month, President Obama sent an outline of his 2010 budget to Congress, and it contained a dire threat to our nation’s economy and energy security. The Administration is proposing at least $400 billion in new taxes and fees on the oil and natural gas industry, which would result in:
