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.

That will never happen as our politicians only want to give all of our
resources, jobs, technology, etc. away to other countries, and want to be
the police force of the world. They need to start thinking about their
own
people for a change and not helping the entire rest of the world. Last I
heard I think was that we had U.S. troops in a little over 20 different
countries. How many countries rushed to give us aid for 911, our
hurricanes, and other natural disasters? Enough sounding off, I am just a
middle class guy who is sick and tired of being screwed by the politicians
that run this country and that if they wanted to could be helping all of
the
people in this country that needs it and doesn't get it!
My two cents.

Once we have a source in the US that can provide the same volume we can
name
our price.
Godspeed,

It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a
hurry.

I don't know a lot about the dealings between our country and others, but
what I don't understand is if the US is the number one consumer/customer
of
oil then why can't we tell oil producing nations that we will only pay $50
a
barrel (for example) take it or leave it. If they don't take the price we
offer, then we don't buy it and they're sitting on useless oil, pretty
simple. It works for Wal-Mart.

If you watch the whole movie you will understand it's not the oil
companies
that are doing all of this (it's 1 hour & 45 mins).
Hear how only two countries would not sign to price their oil in dollars
only in the 1960's. Guess who, Iraq & Iran .
