70% of American Voters Disagree With Obama – Favor Increased Access to Oil and Gas Resources











It would seem Americans want some domestic drilling... Open domestic resources up to the American consumers. American Resources belong to the American people... Not to the federal government.

The people of the United States are tired of having to suffer because of corporate cronyism and government collusion all in the name of the almighty dollar. Or should I say fascism...

Gas Buddy

70% of American voters disagree with Barack Obama and favor increased access to oil and gas resources.
API.org reported:

Seventy percent of American voters favor increased access to U.S. oil and natural gas resources, and similar numbers believe more oil and natural gas development would provide major benefits to the nation, including more U.S. jobs, according to a new poll released today.

“Voters know developing more of America’s homegrown energy makes sense for our economy and our energy security,” said API President and CEO Jack Gerard. “Our economy will demand large amounts of oil and natural gas for at least several more decades even as the role of alternative energy increases. Common sense says we should have Americans producing that oil and gas here at home as much as possible.”

The recent API telephone poll, conducted by Harris Interactive, among 1,005 registered voters found that large majorities believe that more U.S. oil and natural gas development could lead to more American jobs (87 percent), help the U.S. economy and reduce consumer energy costs (83 percent), increase the nation’s energy security (82 percent), and deliver more revenue to the government (72 percent). Over two-thirds (70 percent) believe that some in Washington are intentionally delaying domestic oil and natural gas development, potentially hurting the economy and leading to higher energy costs for consumers.

Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Dave Heineman told The Politico Obama made a mistake by rejecting the Keystone Pipeline.

SOPA stalls in the face of White House opposition

(January 16 2012) The Stop Online Piracy Act hit a wall over the weekend after The White House came out against the bill. The Hill reports on comments from house oversight chairman Darrell Issa, who was assured by majority leader Eric Cantor that more work was needed “to address outstanding concerns and work to build consensus prior to any anti-piracy legislation coming before the House for a vote.”

Shortly before that statement, SOPA sponsor chairman Lamar Smith offered to make significant concessions to the section of the bill that would require ISPs to block offending sites, but it wasn’t enough. SOPA’s Senate counterpart, the Protect IP Act, is still on the table, however.

President Obama has taken it upon himself to take advantage of the Congressional holiday recess and make four administrative appointments, thus bypassing the usual confirmation hearings for the time being. Add to that our Commander in Chief has found it appropriate to let Congress know that he has the final word what power the Executive Branch can wield.

I have advised Congress that I will not construe these provisions as preventing me from fulfilling my constitutional responsibility to recommend to the Congress’s consideration such measures as I shall judge necessary and expedient.
