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.

Marching Towards Dictatorship? NDAA and now Executive Priviliged Constitutionality

It appears our leaders in Washington are making no secret of their plans to virtually enslave us to their will. Un-Constitutional laws, bills and events such as NDAA and indefinite detention, SOPA and internet censorship, Police / Military crackdowns on public dissent and H.R. 3166 – Enemy Expatriation Act, are being reported or discovered daily and all stamp on our natural rights.

H.R.3166
Latest Title: Enemy Expatriation Act
Sponsor: Rep Dent, Charles W. [PA-15] (introduced 10/12/2011) Cosponsors (3)
Related Bills: S.1698
Latest Major Action: 10/24/2011 Referred to House subcommittee.
Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement.

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.

Obama's Last Act of 2011 - NDAA

From Hawaii, President Obama signed the NDAA of 2012 into Law

It is being reported that Obama has issues with some of the clauses and wording, but the motives for the issues are up for interpretation. You can read his statement on the White House website.

One official explained that President Obama does believe, however, that American citizens can be temporarily detained, and that the military has the right to capture and hold any citizen who is engaged in conflict against the United States. If various provisions in the law prove unworkable, the president could go back to Congress to ask for changes.

“The president is going to adhere to the policies that he has held over the last three years, making sure that none of these congressional provisions impede the ability of the counterterrorism and military professional from keeping the country safe,” the official said.

Oath Keepers Retract Mormon Food Storage Post - Source Denies Story


TheEagleKeeper December 11, 2011 at 6:43 PM

This is just a bit of information to chew on. Oath Keepers is a reputable organization of active duty military and law enforcement, as well as military veterans and firefighters, who have stood up to say they will not deny their oath to the Constitution, and to the American people.

These folks are truly Liberty and Freedom’s Allies and stand for what this country was founded on.

With that said, there can be individuals in any group who are crackpots or even willfully make an organization look bad after joining it.. just to discredit and divert it from the mission.

If you own a handgun, and you had issues with the Brady Bill when it was first implemented by Reno and the Clinton administration, you will remember the law was challenged all the way up to the supreme court. The Sheriff who called the government to account and said they were encroaching on States rights by forcing them to invoke the Brady Law was Sheriff Richard Mack.

Sheriff Richard Mack is on the Board of Directors of the Oath Keepers.

It is not a crackpot organization, and it deserves respect as a strong member of the Liberty Movement and the movements to stop federal constitutional encroachments.

For Liberty

The story has been retracted, and Oath Keepers will NOT be embarassed this way again.

“We have pulled this story about the Mormon cannery being visited by federal agents because the source of the information at the cannery is now denying that he ever told us that event occurred.

From now on, we will NOT post any such story based on what we are told by other people unless, and until, they are willing to go on video or at least on an audio recording with their info. That way, in case someone starts to crumble under the public attention or other pressures, and wants to deny what they told us, we have video or audio proof.

We get all kinds of scary intel, all the time, and we rarely pass it on because we don’t have confirming documentation. In this case, we were relying on a confirmed eye witness who is now denying it. We will not do that again without a recording.”
