Deed I have a great idea a friend gave me. Make T-Shirts that say: Drill Me NOW! (in front), with an outline of Alaska in the background and a star where ANWR is… but near a glandular area for women. On the back, it should say: Brought to you by ANWR!

Good Luck and is he makes it, I WILL BUY ONE!

You guys cleaned out the my buddy’s (Uncle Fred’s) Drill Now Bumpersticker Inventory.. But he just put 50 more up, and wanted to make sure you got the new link….

Thanks again guys

I used to vote for a candidate based on their stand on the issues that I found most important, and occasionally, that meant sending a Dem to Washington. Under the current political climate, I can’t see any scenario that will involve me pulling the lever for any Democrat again in my lifetime.

If I got a friend of mine to make a bumper sticker saying something like:

ANWR, Home of the Oil, Drilling for the Brave!

Would any of you buy it?

upinak on July 17, 2008 at 11:00 AM

Better: ANWR: The only thing Clinton didn’t drill.

By the way I hope this isn’t against policy, but my friend is selling some DRILL NOW bumperstickers, $3 no S&H.

Keep up the good work guys.

Might wanna see if they can do different State or Region branches…. Throw that money into your area.

Watch the video. You’ll be glad you did.

Howdy folks. Pistolero sent along a copy of his poster for posting. You can pick up a copy here or here.

amerpundit on July 17, 2008 at 10:20 AM

Thanks to both of you! Printed out a bunch & emailed to everyone in my address book. Let’s get them out there!

By the way, I’m sure American Solutions could use a contribution to helps its efforts. Will anyone join me in throwing them a buck or two?

amerpundit on July 16, 2008 at 10:35 PM

YES! I threw them a buck or two when the site first started the ‘Drill here, drill now, pay less’ campaign. And, as you suggested, it’s time now to toss them a few more.

I call BS. It is the flip floppers who held it up for YEARS. Don’t blame all those who have tried and couldn’t get anything through…

Romeo13 on July 17, 2008 at 12:30 PM

I get your point, but I am just telling you that is how it works out sometimes.

the workings of the commodities markets. Be it cattle or crude oil, the concept’s the same: these are “futures” markets in which prices are set on traders’ expectations of what conditions will be some time down the road. …

Oh, I don’t trust them on anything really important, but when Government stats make your point for you, they are an easy source to use in a debate… especialy when dealing with the media.

And since these are the stats that Congress and the Gov uses…. its hard for them to call you wrong when its their own Stats…

During the years 2000 through 2006 Republicans had both houses of Congress and the Presidency. They did nothing. Nada. Bupkiss.

Now they want to use this like a club to beat the DHIMMIcRATs over the head.

It’s flaming, raging hypocrisy.

In terms of doing any good, it’s just pointless. This will not lead to one hole being poked in the ground.

Romeo13 on July 17, 2008 at 11:40 AM

Romeo, be sceptical on the eio reports. They aren’t always accurate. I know from experience. Especially since that is a ratio amount.

I know the eio is trying to make it easier for those who don’t understand oil stats, but that report could be a variety of different items. From Production, to estimation of capped, to production before turning into a UIC, to recovery but not small recovery. I am just saying this as a example.

Straight from the gov… LOL…

It was part of some research I did to try to explain to O’reilly why his 10% less driving thing would NOT impact worldwide oil prices… Took awhile but I notice he is not harping on that silly idea anymore.

I understand this as well. But there is A LOT of drilling that could go on on Federal land, but is blocked.

eanax on July 17, 2008 at 11:24 AM

Sweetie you are preaching to the choir. I am an Alaskan, I work in Oil and I am having to deal with BLM here on a constant basis. Federal land or not…. there is more to it then you think, and permitting and the BS letters that go in and out for acceptance and renewal and counter issues and the fact that most of this is usually wasted when BLM doesn’t do anything and SITS on their butts. How can you get anything done when an Agency, which is run by the people for the government FOR the people does NOTHING!

Please do not think you are the ONLY one frustrated.

Those who own the land, and the mineral rights are also the controlling factors of the resources.

Think a little bit. Just because they have an special interest, doesn’t mean they are going to get their way.

Romeo13 on July 17, 2008 at 11:19 AM

Romeo, can I have a link for your numbers please? I am going off PennWells Oil and Gas mag and a few other RPG types but I am interested where you got that.

BTW, did I mention you rock! Kinda of like Geologists.. They ROCK!

Why? Because in the 70s Congress got involved in windfall oil taxes, and American oil comapanies could then invest (drill) in foreign countries more easily, and economicly, than in America. Add in the environmental whackos who make drilling here dificult, if not impossible?

1970? 9,960,000 barrels per day…today? 5,263,000 barrels per day…

in other words, America only produces 56% as much oil as we did in 1970.

Thats why we import more oil, and send that money out of oi economy, into someone elses.

America could be not only energy indepedent if it wished, but a net energy EXPORTER if we tried.

Romeo13 on July 17, 2008 at 11:19 AM

I know, guys. I’m being rhetorical; not literal. I want these assclowns to answer for all of this…

eanax on July 17, 2008 at 11:11 AM
I think I answered your question as well.

upinak on July 17, 2008 at 11:18 AM

Oh, I know why. I just want politicians and their special interests to own up to it. Don’t you?

These jackasses need to be held accountable for putting us in this situation.
