America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen. Read more

Public Employee Pensions Endangered by State Officials Playing Global Warming Politics, New Report Says

Lobbying for higher energy prices likely to harm already troubled pension funds.

Washington, D.C. – Already at-risk public employee pension funds are being placed at further risk by state officials who are lobbying for global warming regulation and by state officials who are ignoring the risks posed by such regulation, says a new report, “Pensions in Peril: Are State Officials Risking Public Employee Retirement Benefits by Playing Global Warming Politics?,” by the National Center for Public Policy Research.

“We concluded that many state officials are placing public employee pension fund assets at risk by lobbying for global warming regulation that is expected to harm the economy and stock market,” said report co-author Steve Milloy. “These state officials, many of whose pension funds are already in financial trouble, may be breaching the fiduciary duties owed to public employees and retirees by playing global warming politics,” Milloy added.

Sen. Barrasso Says Wyoming “Double-Crossed” By USFWS

Wyoming’s U.S. Senator John Barrasso yesterday says that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to withdraw its proposal to remove protection of the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act was a “significant breach of trust”.

We shouldn’t stop at Wyoming. Let’s add Idaho and Montana to the list as well, as I’m sure several states could also be included as being shafted by the USFWS. Promises were made from the beginning, promises some said the federal government would never adhere to, had no intentions of fulfilling and couldn’t achieve if it wanted to. Yet, the USFWS got its way and dumped the unwanted wolves on the back doorsteps of thousands of citizens in the Rocky Mountain West areas. Read more

Clearing Up The Confusion On The No-Energy Energy Bill

Dear Colleague,

When the Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) –– the most prestigious of all anti-energy development lawsuit groups –– says he thinks Speaker Pelosi’s “offshore drilling” legislation is “a pretty good bill” that ought to raise some eyebrows don’t you think?

The fact that the Sierra Club endorsed Speaker Pelosi’s “offshore drilling” bill should be enough proof the bill is a sham and will never result in any new offshore development whatsoever. Read more

The Democrats “No Energy” Energy Bill

Yesterday, the ranking member of the U.S. House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee, Don Young of Alaska (R), addressed the House on the Democrats’ proposed energy bill (see video below). Congressman Young said, “The Democrat Leadership of this body has been asleep at the switch, and the result is an energy train wreck. Is anyone surprised we have record energy prices, record energy imports, and failing economy?”

In a press release received today, Young states that this bill was “conceived in the cocktail parties of San Francisco and Manhattan” and further claims no hearings were held on the bill and democrats are trying to rush the bill through Congress before anyone can discover what the bill really is. Young said that no one knows who the father of the bill is and called it illegitimate. Read more

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Approves Of Animal Slaughter

If you don’t like that headline then perhaps you should also not like one that states that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is an animal killer and an abuser. There are however a few marked differences between what some are accusing Gov. Palin of being and what I am accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being but both bear striking similarities………..that is if you are willing to look at things from a honest perspective.

There will always be people who will have an issue with the killing of any animal and some to the extreme of any living thing whether plant or animal. We witness everyday people who ignorantly support the protection of a handful of animals while being responsible for the deaths of more than they saved. For that, I offer no cures nor do I pretend that I can in all honesty have any marked alterations to their beliefs. I expect nothing different in return either. Read more
