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.

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:

Sebelius, the Health and Human Services Director appointee, is a big advocate of Socialist universal healthcare. A few weeks ago the U.S. Congress passed a new SCHIP bill. The bill, which few people knew, took away the existing requirement to make sure that a State check to make sure that a person is legally present in the United Statesbefore agreeing to use taxpayer money to pay for these services. Enter Kathleen Sebelius, who favors giving away in State tuition to Illegal Aliens and favors drivers licenses to Illegal Aliens. She is the LAST person we want interpreting the this new law and issuing regulations, because she will certainly ensure that States can’t check for legal status anymore.

President Obama has halted all new leases for offshore drilling and oil shale exploration in Western states. The Department of the Interior was poised to begin the lengthy process of issuing 31 new federal leases for energy development. Obama’s actions reflect his view that America should not pursue all available forms of energy to escape from our dependence on foreign oil, but instead, that we should only increase our use of boutique energy sources that are pre-approved by liberal environmental extremists.

America needs more and better sources of energy. That’s not up for discussion. But what a firestorm has erupted over what those sources should be!

Despite public opinion (e.g. with prices down, support for offshore drilling remains high—at 68%), America’s energy solutions continue to be dictated and repressed by Hard Left environmentalist groups—and they are increasingly turning to the courts to enforce their liberal, anti-energy agenda.

I am utterly convinced that Thomas Jefferson won; that the Federal Government is to have only “enumerated powers” and that it is supposed to be an agent of the free and “INDEPENDENT” States and be a very small office relative to it’s current “ILLEGAL” size and scope. Further I have found multitudes of reasons WRITTEN by the founding fathers as to why this is so and how the “apportionment” clause was to see to it that the U.S. Government never would be able to develop the financial assets required to gain power over the States or any involvement over the daily lives of Americans who live in the States. That each State was to have its own army and “militias” to further ensure against a Federal Government take over of the lives and daily freedoms of individual Americans or the individual free States.

This afternoon this harmless ol’Capt Karl attempted to contract Senator Russ Feingold’s office with regards to the House letting the offshore oil and gas ban expiring. I started to ask what the Senator’s position was on this matter and, after looking up the information they have on me in their computer database, the staffer hung up on me. When I redialed the phone just rang and rang and was not picked up.

Congressman Steve Kagen, along with other Congressional Representatives from the State of Wisconsin, have voted to keep BILLIONS of barrels of oil just out of reach of our oil companies. This obviously means that supply will remain tight and very likely get even tighter when our economy picks up and the demand for oil, the life blood of prosperity and wealth creation, picks back up. Without the freedom to drill for our offshore oil our economy may never recover, especially if the U.S. Congress starts regulating everything and screwing everything up like they always do.
