Making Money Off Obama’s Useless Energy Plans

Company Lobbies for Cap-and-Trade and Government Subsidies While Expanding in the Middle East

Washington, D.C. – Today policy experts at the National Center for Public Policy Research are calling attention to Dow Chemical’s exploitation of Obama’s failed energy policy.

“Dow Chemical is taking advantage of President Obama’s failed leadership on energy. Dow is aggressively lobbying for cap-and-trade and Obama’s green initiatives to line its pockets with taxpayers’ funds while it expands the company’s manufacturing base overseas. American taxpayers are subsidizing Dow’s moving costs,” said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project. Read more

Americans Want Action, Not Exploitation

Washington, D.C. – The following is a statement by Dana Joel Gattuso, director of of the Center for Environmental and Regulatory Affairs of the National Center for Public Policy Research:

It has now been 57 days since the disastrous BP oil spill, and President Obama has still failed to take charge. Last night’s scare mongering address to the nation — avowing that the answer to the oil spill is for Americans to end their “addiction” to affordable energy — was no exception. Read more

Obama Pushes BP’s Inspired Cap-and-Trade “BP Bill” in Speech to Nation

Both BP CEO Hayward and Obama Support Big Government Efforts to Discourage Fossil Fuels

Washington, D.C. – Responding to President Obama’s speech on the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, The National Center for Public Policy Research is calling attention to BP’s role in pushing Obama’s cap-and-trade energy policy.

BP was a founding member of the United States Climate Action Partnership – a lobbying coalition that played a key role in passing the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill that passed the House of Representatives last year and the company also played a role in negotiating the terms of the Kerry-Lieberman bill recently introduced in the Senate.

Group Calls on Recipients of BP Grants and Contributions to Return Donations for Use in Cleanup

Editor’s Commentary: After reading this call by the National Center for Public Policy Research, I would concur with Mr. Ridenour. Under the circumstances of the amount of money these “environmental” organizations receive from BP and other like companies, it is time to put their money where their mouth is and put these “donations” to work in oil clean up efforts. I would hesitate to return the money directly to BP but instead donate the money to a third party entity with assurances and guarantees that every penny of it went specifically for oil clean up in the Gulf of Mexico and United States’ interests. Good call by NCPPR.

Call for Voluntary Return of Gifts Spurred by Reports that BP Could Go Bankrupt

Washington, D.C. – In light of recent reports that BP may go bankrupt paying claims for damages and cleanup of the Gulf oil spill, The National Center for Public Policy Research today called on organizations and individuals that have received contributions from BP or its affiliated foundation in recent years to return these donations, or to contribute them to a reputable, independent Gulf cleanup fund.

Who Should Wield Environmental Power Over The People?

Washington, D.C. – Senators will soon consider a resolution to pare back an Environmental Protection Agency plan to regulate greenhouse gases – a plan that would raise energy costs.

On June 10, the U.S. Senate will consider a “resolution of disapproval” regarding a 2009 ruling made by the EPA in late 2009 claiming six greenhouse gases are a threat to public health. This makes these gases — carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride — subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act. Read more

True Agenda Of Environmentalism

We all have our thoughts about the real agenda behind the sickness of environmentalism and when a hole is opened that offers us the opportunity to expose the real agenda, it is prudent that we do our part to advertise the insanity of it all.

Much debate has transpired for many years over illegal immigration and much more attention has been given Arizona with the state’s recent passage of illegal immigration laws that mirror our federal laws that are not being enforced. This debate has sharply divided political ideals, where on the one side the progressive liberals believe in open borders and a destruction of our sovereignty as a nation, an abolition of a distinct identity. On the other side, Americans want law and order, a means where immigrants seeking to share in the American Dream can legally come to this country and assimilate, as our present laws provide. Truly we find the polar opposites of idealism at work and as such we are witness to forces behind the propagation of political agendas. Read more

Sorry, No Racist Here

I rarely post political stuff on this blog, unless it directly affects hunting and fishing. I believe illegal immigration fits that bill. As many of you know, for a couple of years now, the maps found in the Game and Fish Regulations indicate a “zone” along the border, with a statement that “Homeland security issues along the international border may affect the quality of a person’s hunt”. Following the passage of SB1070, I was deeply offended to be branded a racist for supporting this law. A drastically shorter version of the following editorial is scheduled to appear in Wednesday’s edition of the Arizona Republic (Mesa edition) ~Desert Rat
