URGE ALL TO CONTACT THEIR OWN CONGRESSIONAL FOLKS AND THOSE FROM OHIO AND URGE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE BAKKEN FIELDS.
Ever heard of the Bakken Formation? GOOGLE it. I did, and again, BLEW my mind. The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oilmen/women knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota; western South Dakota; and extreme eastern Montana ... Check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... At $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion. 'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst. 'This sizeable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,' reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.
For years, U.S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves... And we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.
2. [And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO, people!]
U.S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.
[(???) What the!??]
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
-8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
-18-times as much oil as Iraq
-21-times as much oil as Kuwait
-22-times as much oil as Iran
-500-times as much oil as Yemen - and it's all right here in the Western United States.
[HOW can this BE!? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this!? Because we've not D E M A N D E D Legislation to come out of Washington allowing its extraction, that's why!]
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels. Untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.
----
Don't think 'Big Oil' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, and if they can extract it (here) for less, they can afford to sell it for less - and if they DON'T, others will. It will come down - it has to.
----
[Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it ... And hopefully P.O'd, do this:
3. Take 5-10 minutes and compose an e-mail; fax or good old-fashioned letter to our elected officials in Washington ... And their respected leaders. We'll start with them, and here's how you can send them your e-mail/fax, DEMANDING the immediate Legislation/an Energy PLAN that calls for tapping into these (OUR OWN!) Reserves, as well as allowing for the offshore drilling for OUR oil, in OUR offshore waters and Inter-continental shelf .. Not to mention Alaska. Technology ain't what it used to be people (ever had arthroscopic surgery?). They can surgically extract OUR oil, and get us on the way to at least some measure of Energy independence.
You don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices ... Because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain.

MORE FAMILY PICTURES OF THE NEW FIRST FAMILY??
PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT
AND FORWARD TO OTHERS.
How come we haven't seen or
known about some of these....?
Barack Obama's grandmother, Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama
U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama's
uncle has been a prisoner in his own home,
trapped by post election violence that has left
more than 600 Kenyans dead. 'If Barack Obama
were elected, he would improve relations between
Africa and America because he had his roots in
Africa', his uncle said.
Malik Obama, older brother to Barack Obama, holds an undated picture of
Barak, left, and himself, middle, and an unidentified friend in his shop in eastern Kenya
Luo dancers from the Senator
Barack Obama Primary School
Barack has stated his support for Luo Raila Odinga (Opposition Leader in
Kenya who signed a 'Shariah pact' with Muslims and claims to be Obama's
cousin) and is married to Ida Odinga. They have four children - two sons and
two daughters. His oldest son, Fidel, is named after Fidel Castro.
Barack's father, Muslim, hard-drinker, was married three times, attended
Harvard and returned to Kenya . Obama claims he was an atheist,
but he was raised Muslim and was given a Muslim burial at Barack's
family's request.
With mother Stanley Ann Dunham. In his own autobiography Obama writes,
'How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars
that I have never quite had the courage to explore.' (His father was still
married to his first wife Kezia in Kenya at the time.)
His father's only visit while Obama was in Hawaii.
Mother's 2nd husband Lolo Soetoro (Indonesian Muslim),
their daughter Maya, and Obama.
Abandoned by his father and shipped off by his
mother to his white grandparents, Barry Sotero
becomes Barack Hussein Obama. Obama would
describe his grandparents as 'white folk.'
(Yeah, 'white folk' that would NOT abandon
you, their grandchild. Shame on you Obama.)
Barack stands behind Kezia (stepmother) in a Kenyan family shot.
(Including brother Abongo ' Roy ' Obama who is a Luo activist and
a 'Militant Muslim' who argues that the black man must 'liberate
himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.' )
'Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at
the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown
with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests
mistook him for my father,' Obama wrote in Dreams
From My Father.
Obama's visit to Africa '06
(Where are the transcripts of the speeches
he gave here? Campaigning for Odinga?
Wouldn't it be great to be able to read these?
Do the people of the state of Illinois know
about Obama's radical background?)
SINCE CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, AND THE NEW YORK TIMES
WILL NOT SHOW THESE PICTURES, AND WE WONDER WHY NOT,
WILL YOU FORWARD THESE TO THE (APPROXIMATE NUMBER)
200 MILLION AMERICANS THAT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS?
THANK YOU.
AND FORWARD TO OTHERS.
