American needs to drill here drill now. America is having a energy crisis and we need to do something now!

Urge Congress and pass a bill to drill in America, where

the United States has vast oil and gas resources onshore and offshore that are currently illegal to develop and therefore inaccessible.

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 38 billion barrels of undeveloped oil resources (19 billion barrels onshore and 18.92 billion offshore).

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 180 trillion cubic feet of undeveloped natural gas resources (94.5 trillion cubic feet onshore and 85.7 trillion cubic feet offshore).

CONGRESS RECENTLY VOTED TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO DEVELOP U.S. OIL SHALE RESOURCES

With oil prices at an all-time high, Americans are facing escalating gas, diesel, and aircraft fuel increases. Oil prices are projected to increase further.

Congress, however, has made it illegal to develop vast domestic oil resources in large parts of the United States.

The most startling Congressional prohibition on domestic oil production concerns the recently enacted ban on the development of oil shale resources in parts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming in the Green River Formation. According to a Rand Study estimate, this reserve contains over one trillion barrels of oil, with 800 billion barrels fully recoverable, or three times the current oil reserves as Saudi Arabia:

Jessi: Don’t give up hope

Ok American I pose this question to you. Are we as a country stupid enough to re election the Democrats to congress after what the pulled this last week? Going home and not voting on the needed drilling issue?

Congress has re elections every two years. In 2006, as president Bush stated, the Republicans took a whooping! When this happened we all asked why? And the misguided answer to this was the country wanted a change and basically anyone with an R behind their name was treated as though they had the plague. As stated “the country has spoken”! Well I say this see what your “change” has gotten you? We have record gas prices, the economy is in a slump, and Nancy Pelosi has said no to drilling to help with the prices at the pump. Is this the change you were looking for?

What I find very interesting is what all the pundits are saying. They say that the Republicans can’t take back the house. I ask, why not? Americans speak volumes every day. Polling numbers show that congress approval rating is 19% and has been stable with this horrible rating for several months. Why then is it so hopeless that American will not boot the Democrats out of office? In 2006 did we really think that the Republicans would lose the majority? Why then can the Republicans not take it back? Do the pundits think that America is so stupid that they won’t vote for who is looking at their interests. The Democrats have proven, by not voting, that they don’t care about our pocket books, and they are lead by the speaker Nancy Pelosi who is not afraid to state she does not want to drill and does not feel it will lower gas prices. Well America again speaks volumes 70% of America feels we need to drill domestically. What does that say? Come on America, Wake Up! Back up your views and get the Democrats out of Congress, let’s not give up hope.

Bush rips Democrats for opposing offshore drilling

By H. JOSEF HEBERT, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – President Bush chastised Democrats on Saturday for refusing to allow a vote on whether to lift the federal ban on offshore oil drilling before lawmakers departed for their summer recess.

“To reduce pressure on prices, we need to increase the supply of oil, especially oil produced here at home,” Bush said in his weekly radio address. It was the fourth time this week that he has called for Congress to end the drilling restrictions off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico………

Pelosi, D-Calif., has refused to bring up for House consideration various Republican proposals to lift the offshore drilling moratoriums that Congress has renewed annually for years.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada offered to consider a GOP offshore drilling proposals, but when Republicans demanded votes on a number of other energy proposals, he withdrew his offer.

Congress began its annual August recess on Friday without having enacted any substantive responses to public outcries over high gasoline and other energy costs. Reid blamed Republicans, who have filibustered a number of energy measures, for the congressional gridlock.

A proposal presented Friday by a bipartisan group of 10 senators — five from each party — would allow oil and gas drilling beyond 50 miles of the coast in the South Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico, but leave the ban in place elsewhere.

Nancy Pelosi Responds To President Bush

July 14, 2008 |

WASHINGTON, July 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s announcement lifting the executive ban on drilling in protected coastal areas:

“Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil.

“The Bush plan is a hoax. It will neither reduce gas prices nor increase energy independence. It just gives millions more acres to the same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas.

“If the President wants to bring down prices in the next two weeks, not the next two decades, he should free our oil by releasing a small portion of the more than 700 million barrels of oil we have put in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

“It’s time to tell the oil industry: ‘You already have millions of acres to drill. Use it or lose it.’”

Peter Theron responds to Tammy Baldwin

Friday, June 13th, 2008 | 2nd Congressional district, Drilling | 5 Comments

In her June 11 email newsletter Tammy Baldwin writes:

    Pain at the Pump
    Rising gas prices in Wisconsin and around the
    country have reached the point where they are
    severely straining family pocketbooks and
    impinging on vital services. Temporarily
    suspending the federal gas tax is a short-sighted
    measure that sounds good, but offers little relief.

    Congress overrode a presidential veto and voted
    to temporarily suspend shipments to our
    strategic petroleum reserve. The President and
    Vice-President are well-versed in, and well-
    connected to, big oil. No two leaders are better
    positioned to take bold and immediate actions to
    reduce the price of gas. I call on the President
    and Vice-President to bring pressure to bear on
    our oil producing allies to increase production and
    support a windfall tax on oil companies that are
    reaping exorbitant profits.
    …

According to House Republicans suspending the federal gas will lower 
the pump price by $.18, while suspending the strategic petroleum 
reserve shipments will lower the pump price by only $.05 . Clearly it 
is the suspending of reserve shipments that offers little relief.

Liberals are always saying that the United States should lead the 
world by example. So, if we want the world to increase its production 
of oil, then according to the liberal view, we should increase our 
own production. Thus far Tammy Baldwin has voted against every 
attempt to increase domestic oil production.

According to the American Petroleum Institute in January 2008, 
Wisconsin’s fuel taxes averaged 51.3 cents per gallon on gasoline and 
57.3 cents per gallon on diesel. The average oil company profit is 
8.1 cents per dollar of sales. At $4 a gallon, this means the oil 
company makes 32.4 cents per gallon of fuel. Comparing 51.3 to 32.4 
highlights that it is the government, not the oil companies, that are 
reaping exorbitant profits. We cannot tax ourselves to prosperity.

The correct response to our current pain at the pump is “Drill here. 
Drill now.”
