Democrat Energy Legislation is a Fraud Agqainst the American People

Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: The American people, democrats, republicans and independents have overwhelmingly called for more access to America's resources and drilling now for oil. However as expressed below, the Democrat leadership in the Us House of representatives introduced a new bill in an attempt to defraud the American people again by using a nice sounding name while restricting what Americans need. The only real thing Congress needs to do is get out of the way of and allow Americans access to American resources. An analogy would be your being denied access to your own savings account to cover critical needs or to reduce your costs by being able to buy something at a savings. [Oops, hope Nancy Pelosi was not listening, she already wants to retroactively add another tax on 401K plans.]

Rep. John Boozman today expressed his opposition to H.R. 6899, the ‘Comprehensive American Energy Security and Consumer Protection Act’ introduced by the House majority late last night and debated for the first time today. The bill appears to be another Democrat fraud on the public. Congressman Boozman said:

There are nine working days in the legislative calendar to vote on a commonsense energy plan. It’s something my constituents in Arkansas’ Third District have asked for and it’s something every American deserves. Unfortunately, the legislation has been labeled ‘energy’ when in fact it’s a no-energy bill.

The nearly 300 pages of legislation provide no solutions to expand our American energy. It permanently locks up to 80 percent of American energy on the Outer Continental Shelf, and permanently locks up more than one trillion barrels of oil from oil shale in the Inter-Mountain West and permanently locks up more than 10 billion barrels of oil on Alaska’s remote North Slope. The only thing that we need to make permanent is the ability for Americans to utilize all of their natural resources to increase energy.

We need to consider a comprehensive plan that uses an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach
to utilizing all of America’s energy sources. This plan is a ‘none-of-the above’ approach.
