FIGHT'S ON!

Va., needs the oil drilling. If the 'powers that be' had common sense those needs would be fullfilled! If we don't change the chancey Obama boat and direction, America will not stay afloat! Elections have consequences! All the brain power in America and look what we end up with? The three clowns 'O', slow Joe and sassy Nancy! How did we get so lucky, Haaaaaaaaaaa!
Ex Democrat

That is a good cause to push. America should not have a trade deficit, let alone give money to nations that do not like us. Good Luck and keep fighting.

I'm about bursting at the seams wanting to do something. Letters, petitions, phone calls, faxes..........I'm feeling itchy to do more. Drilling is one of my favorite topic. I have the"drill here drill now" bumper sticker and ask the powers that be why in the world we aren't drilling when it would literally make all the difference in the world in our economy. I can't think of anything that would do more to stimulate us right out of this recession. Good work, Mrs. AL.

I was mortified when I saw the reports about the farmers being denied H2O of all things. Talk about a group that needs to sharpen their pitchforks! I agree about not staying afloat. But I don't blame Obama per se. As far as I'm concerned, "politician" is a dirty word and should no longer be used in polite company. We need STATESMEN/WOMEN and not a bunch of pathetic humanoids who care only about their own power and control over the rest of us.

Now see what you did, you got me all riled up again. Thanx, miss vicky!!!

thanx for the encouragement. I am on a tear at this point. Enough is enough. Virginia has oil and they better get their butts in gear. We need the industry and the jobs as well. Other State in the Union had better get cracking also. The middle east is going to blow up and we will be s t u c k!

We are all going to reap a really bad outcome if we don't get on the ball here. I know you agree and all your hard work is appreciated by us all. We gotta' keep the pressure on! A "fantasy" I have is winning a multi-million dollar lottery and being able to produce commercials. Given my background, I know I could make a diff. In the meantime, my State officials are going to have to endure multiple phone calls, etc.

Until there's no place left to drill is the answer for the US - I agree. Done correctly we could bne a net exporter of oil and find the ChiComs back at OUR door.

For all I know, there is some of the stuff under the mountain where I live. I could handle one of them derrick thingamabobs in my back yard!

Make yourself known. I hope they hear you and others. The continuance of pressure cannot be stopped now, otherwise the leftist media wont have anything to denigrate besides Rush, Beck, and Hannity! I also have been busy and have barely kept up my blog.

Just got a new job and my wife's one month pregnant. I'm praying my upcoming children will have a future where the dollar will be worth something and our country and its' citizens isn't belittled by it's own administration.

A new wife + new baby + new job + activism = one busy U.S. Citizen who cares.

I am thrilled for your wife and you, Eric. Please know ya'll will be in my prayers.

Mrs. AL, keep the faith and keep up the fight.

And it doesn't end unless we say it is over.

Sorry I missed you in DC. MAKE NO MISTAKE! The fight is on and it is TO THE DEATH! My attitude is akin to Morgan Earp at the OK Corral. He was heard to say, "You SOB's have been looking for a fight and now you're going to get one!"

it's the sound of freedom!

So state the signs near many Air Force bases and Navy air fields, yet there are still many who complain that flight operations are an untenable burden for those who CHOSE to buy/build their houses in the flight paths of those installations.

NIMBY is the same mindset encountered by the oil companies seeking to erect drilling platforms in the effort to free our nation from dependence on oil supplies located in less than stable areas of the world. Even when the wacko environmentalists are restrained from interfering with expansion of operations needed to promote utilization of this critical natural resource, wrenches are thrown into the gears of progress by those selfish elitists who are all for exploration on American soil - as long as it is done where they can't see it.

Somebody definitely put a burr in her saddle.

Nice rant. Good to see ya getting back in the fight. If I win one of them big ol' lotteries, I'll come to you to produce my commercials on the issues...maybe even leading to some commercials for CRAWFISH FOR CONGRESS!

I've been on the drill Florida band wagon. Cuba will be putting rigs off our beaches and our idiots will still be fighting it. You know the old saying, "Great Mimes express alike" or something along that order.

Amen! “And it doesn’t end unless we say it is over.” Excellent bottom line! Thanx!

You didn’t miss much when you missed me in D.C., though I would have liked your reaction to the “security” issue I cited in my last posting.

I like the Earp reference. Haven’t thought about that incident in quite some time. These battles aren’t fun and they sure do put a crimp in ones schedule. However, to secure true liberty (via the Declaration of Independence) for the folks after us, it is necessary.

Keep rubbing in the salt! Do you ever wonder just how some of those … people … managed to get out of kindergarten? It is absolutely astounding what passes for education and information/facts these days, eh?

Deal! I would be honored to put together commercials, etc for you. I know what resources to tap and I know how powerful language usage is and, how to use language effectively in the context of communicating with a targeted audience.

As for who torqued me off, let’s see … there are 100 Senators, 400 some odd Representatives, czars up the ying yang and State officials with the spines of jelly fish.

Well heck, maybe you can give me some pointers how to get these … people … off their backsides and get moving since you have already band-wagoned this thing. Also, I could be all wrong, but you might want to look up that old saying. I think you meant to use another old saying, “birds of a feather poop all over you.” No? Oh well, I tried.

First, I am so very sorry to learn of your family`s sad anniversary for the loss of your little granddaughter just five years ago. Children are the most precious gift of all. She is an angel and she lives through you and in your memories of her. God bless her, you and your family!

Mrs. AL! You are sure spunky and ready to rumble! I agree with miss vicky (ex dem, who should blog!) about the water in the Fresno area. To protect smelt! We should be drilling and doing whatever it takes to put people back to work! What the rip is this healthcare fiasco all about! There was no plan to begin with, is none now and there will never be one that could work! It was just supposed to happen because prezbo said so! Passing a health care bill will do nothing to create jobs and bring peace of mind to millions of Americans! These beltway elites never fail to disgust me. You are doing amazing things, Mrs. AL! Thanks!

The Revolution has been brewing and now it is steamroller time with our VOTES!! Drill now!!

My sister just became a grandma--again! I just became a great uncle-again! we MUST fight for the future of these precious souls!! thank you Mrs Al for staying "in the fray" !!!

is better now that you're back in it. Great reading your essay/post/rant.

Ethanol? No. Biofuels? No. Wind? Gotta be kidding. Solar? In Seattle? Huh? No. Drill for oil? Yep. Drill for natural gas? Yep. Mine coal for electricity? Yep. Complete idle nuke plants? Yep. Build new ones? Yes.

Will we ever be a net exporter? No. Will we ever be energy independent? No. Sorry, Gar. Cannot and will not ever happen.

Nicely executed rant. The healthcare rip is all about blowing wind up our skirts in order to continue to erode liberty. “Beltway elites” is a most apt description of the smelt that inhabits the Capitol!

Yep. Drill and vote. Sounds like a good campaign strategy to me!

CONGRATS – being a Great Uncle must be a hoot. Fighting for the generation(s) behind us is my sole reason for doing what I do. And thank you for staying in the fray. Gonna’ get real exciting here soon.

Actually, DrPete I think it’s not a bad idea to explore other options. But the powers that be clearly want to reduce us to a third or fourth world country via an alternative energy agenda. It’s their doing that we don’t have people exploring things because we have become so dependent on “government” for direction, permission and, sanction. What a crock of … well, you know.

P.S. As I write this -- go Philly's (in honor of my husband person)!

NO drilling - it might accomplish something and we can't have that.
Hey, in CA we just keep watching our gas prices go up. We rock!

count ME in this...the government is in for an education..American voter style.

I wish I could attend the tea party in DC tomorrow. Attended another here in Denver and had a blast, but D.C is really where I'd like to voice my concerns.
