California Rejects Another Offshore Drilling Plan. Congress: Send Money.


Let me see if I have this straight. Our state is $25 BILLION in hock, and counting. Businesses are fleeing the state daily. People with social welfare needs are still moving into the state daily. Services are being cut in every community. Those due a tax refund will be receiving California IOUs instead of cash (our cash). State employees are being furloughed 2 days a month and facing termination altogether. Arnold and his merry band of Dems are daily thinking up new and creative ways to tax the cash strapped businesses and the few taxpayers left in the state. On top of that, the federal government is spending us into oblivion with every pet project a congressman or senator could ever want, and the federal debt clock is running out of digits. Now, we are told that our California leadership rejects an offshore drilling deal, SUPPORTED by 25 environmental organizations (in return for the oil company committing suicide in 13 years). The deal would have provided California with domestic energy and pump $5 BILLION into the state’s economy, including $100 million this year alone. Is that correct? And, by the way, Mr. Obama. Arnold wants some of that pork.



Will the last person leaving California please get the lights? Oh, wait, never mind. There will be no energy to run the lights.

We Have Plenty of Oil Right Here


The Mineral Management Service in the Department of the Interior estimates that 86 billion barrels of oil lie under the Outer Continental Shelf off the United States. By comparison, Russia has an estimated 60 billion barrels and Venezuela has 80 billion barrels.

Liberal environmental policies and hostile environmental organizations are the major reasons we are so dependent upon foreign oil. Just in the past few days congressional liberals defeated several attempts to expand domestic oil production. Last month, in a vote for a proposal by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell that would allow offshore drilling, Senator B.H.Obama voted against it.

In an election that is supposed to be about “change,” B.H. Obama seems pretty wedded to same ol', same ol'.
