[Chevelle-list] [Fwd: Oil reserves in US]

[Jim Sullivan]

Chuck, I'm with you.   I too watched the video.  Not sure I agree with all, 
but....
(1.) I want to do something about the graft and corruption so blatantly 
displayed by our politicians. I joined a group called Citizens Against 
Government Waste (CAGW).  For me, it's a start. We need to take our country 
back.
I am tired of hearing "vote them out next election".  Why wait?  I would 
like to see our citizenry use tools such as Referendum and Recall.  When 
these politicians spend our money to suit their own devices, not in our best 
interest, or break campaign promises, let's get rid of them immediately.  If 
you misrepresent yourself or screw up on a new job, do you think your new 
employer will hold onto you for another 2,3,4 years?? Plus give you 
retirement benefits....

I'm sure there are many ways this won't work but I'm hoping some of the 
smarter guys on this list will suggest something we can do.
Team Chevelle membership is around 40K, (+ or -).  I think we as a group 
could get something started.

CAGW lists politicians who spend money (Pork) on their own pet projects, 
without having been voted on by Congress. They squeeze them into defense 
bills and other approved projects.  Check out the site. It's very 
enlightening.  Let's get rid of Pork spending and/or give the President line 
item veto.  We need the BILLIONS of our tax dollars they are pi$$ing away.

(2.)  North Slope.  If there's oil there and we don't drill it, the new 
horizontal drilling, and super deep processes that Russia is implementing 
could drain that pool from their end.  China is approved to utilize this 
process off the coast of Cuba toward the Florida coast.  Who's to say one 
well doesn't drain or connect to another??

Sorry for the long post guys.
Let's get something started.....

Jim S.
