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.
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.
The following report demonstrates the utter contempt our enemies in the U.S. Congress House of Representatives has for us as they clearly insult our intelligence.
WASHINGTON — Offshore oil drilling, which has dominated energy debates in the presidential campaign, is now coming to the Senate.The House late Tuesday approved on a 236-189 vote legislation that would open waters 50 miles off the Pacific and Atlantic coasts to oil and natural gas development — if the adjacent states agree to go along.
If you care at all for America and for the lives of your own family you will make sure to write a letter to your Senator to just let the ban on oil and gas drilling to expire! Aren’t you paying enough for gasoline, utility bills and food now? If you don’t personally rise up and make yourself heard, as we all must, you are the cause of your own problems. We all must rise up as a NATION of INDIVIDUALs standing united against our enemies in Congress who are trying to place us in a financial harms way!
Zbigniew Brzezinski is Barack Obama’s foreign policy advisor. Brzezenski was the national security advisor for President Carter from 1977 to 1981.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is an advocate of socialist world government, a goal he has promoted as a member of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and as a speaker at former Soviet Premier and Communist Mikhail Gorbachev’s first World Forum. Brzezinski is an architect of creating regions of global governance from independent nations to achieve world government. At the World Forum Brzezenski described the global regions that are now being put into place under Condi Rice: Israel and the Palestinians (now MEFTA, Middle East Free Trade Association), Iran as part of a Central Asian region, and China as part of a Far Eastern region. As a member of CSIS Brzezinski has guided their efforts to publish the North American Integration Monitor (2002) that calls for the loss of US sovereignty to a North American Union (NAU) as one of the regional global government blocks.
RISE UP PEOPLE AND BE HEARD. You, all of us, have little precious time left before we all become so broke and poor we can’t even afford to fight the U.S. Government anymore, in the effort to protect The Constitution that is the only thing protecting us from them.
Currently, the environmental opposition is mounting an aggressive campaign to keep the OCS closed and we need your help! The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is home to huge, untapped resources, but access is currently restricted, slowing the crucial growth and development urgently needed to meet today’s energy demands. To unleash the promise of our domestic reserves, your voice is needed now to help open critical areas of the (OCS) for petroleum exploration and production in the near future.
Sing along with the ol’ Capt.: Five blind mice, Five blind mice, see how they run, see how they run, they all run after the Pelosi strife, who leaves red eyed Americans holding a pitchfork and knife, five blind mice!
The “Five Stooges” Republican Senator idiots poking Americans in the eye are:

Besides the fact that Socialism will rip apart a society, like it is ours right now, can’t you see that for yourself, can’t you see the division between us fellow countrymen, can’t you see how it even is starting to turn to hate especially amongst those who want and believe in “free stuff” otherwise known as Socialist Spending Programs, for people against those who believe in individual “freedom” (from Government), liberty and property rights? Can you see how people stop caring for other people when they know that “That’s Governments job to take care of them.” instead of pitching in directly with money or physical help or a hot meal or three for those unfortunately afflicted? Socialism runs directly opposed to Natural Law. That is why it does not work. Socialism - “Free Stuff” for people so against “Natural Law” as jumping up hard over a cliff expecting to fly up in the air is against the laws of physics and gravity. You can think all you want that it is good and it is going to work but you are going to land with a thud and it is going to hurt. All of history shows that Socialism and Communism NEVER, EVER, WORK and only leads to the equal distribution of poverty, misery and massive corruption by Government officials, elitists and their cronies.
That’s because the plan is a Democratic giveaway. New production on offshore federal lands is left to state legislatures, and then in only four coastal states. The regulatory hurdles are huge. And the bill bars drilling within 50 miles of the coast — putting off limits some of the most productive areas. Alaska’s oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is still a no-go.
The highlight is instead $84 billion in tax credits, subsidies and federal handouts for alternative fuels and renewables. The Gang of 10 intends to pay for all this in part by raising taxes on . . . oil companies! The Sierra Club couldn’t have penned it better. And so the Republican Five has potentially given antidrilling Democrats the political cover they need to neutralize energy through November.
