Breitbart.tv » US Air Force Gives Big Contract To Brazil

and denies the American company that did the original research, the opportunity to bid on the contract. So the opportunity to create even more jobs is passed on to a foreign country with no incentive to perform above expectations

Mr Cantor, I hereby demand that you exert all the pressure Congress is able and defund this contract until American companies are given the opportunity to bid this contract. Foreign companies should not be building American ordanance.

Cutting Oil Deals That Won't Help Americans

Speaker Boehner Challenges President Obama on Support for New Energy Production – In Brazil

March 21, 2011 by Don Seymour

In an interview with RedCounty.com, Speaker Boehner called it “breathtaking” that the Obama Administration would back more job-creating energy production in Brazil while continuing to threaten job growth and drive up gas prices at home by blocking new American energy production.

You see, instead of lifting the de facto moratorium on American offshore energy production, the House Natural Resources Committee caught President Obama promising “to help with technology and support to develop” Brazilian oil reserves so that America could become one of Brazil’s “best customers.”

The new House majority is taking a different approach. With rising gas prices causing “big pains” at the pump for American families and small businesses, and American energy production in decline, Speaker Boehner said, “Americans are wondering, ‘well why aren’t we developing our own resources?’”

That’s why House Republicans recently launched the American Energy Initiative -- an ongoing effort to help address rising gas prices and create jobs by increasing American energy production. Here is how Speaker Boehner explained the initiative to Red County:

“One, it’s our all-of-the-above energy policy. Let’s have more oil and gas exploration, let’s use most of the royalties to help develop alternative sources of energy, but it’s clean coal technology, it’s nuclear energy. In addition to that, let’s look at what the Administration is doing that’s stopping the development of our natural resources. And if you look at the EPA, you look at the rest of these government agencies, they’re doing everything they can to put a moratorium in the Gulf, to make sure that we can’t drill in Alaska, to make sure there’s no development in the intermountain west. There are policies coming out of this Administration that are causing the price of energy to skyrocket. We need to expose this and hold them accountable for what they’re doing.”

Meanwhile, we're bombing another Muslim country and have no clue who will be in charge when we're done.

Battle for Oil Off Florida Caost

Economic Treason

From NY Sun via GOPUSA:

When it comes to offshore drilling, American oil companies face hurdles set by Congress and the White House. American companies are prohibited from engaging with Cuba, which is eager to sell oil and gas concessions, by law. And the eastern portion of America's section of the Gulf — the part that is closest to Cuba and presumably would prove to have the same riches as Cuba's side — is off-limits to exploration by law.
The Monroe Doctrine notwithstanding, Congress and the Bush administration have done little to keep European and Asian energy companies out of the Western Hemisphere.
"The United States has preached the market, and if Latin America is able to get better deals out of Europe, then Washington, in all good conscience, can't claim some kind of exclusive friendship, or hemispheric bond that gives it a privileged position," the director of a Washington-based think tank, the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, Larry Birns, said.
As it currently stands, in leasing rights to the Gulf of Mexico, the federal Department of the Interior sells to foreign oil companies, including state-owned ones, on equal footing with American companies. That free trade policy appears unlikely to change.
Rather, the legislative efforts have been aimed at auctioning off mineral rights to more of America's waters, although it won't only be American companies bidding.

This is tantamount to economic treason. Free-trade be damned. If we insist on playing fair with OUR petroleum reserves, we'll never get the price of gas down. Screw the rest of the world.

DRILL HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRILL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
