oil leases

To Whom It May Concern,

I am interested in learning how to aquire oil leases off the N.J. shore. I know

years ago leases were aquired in something like a lottery. If this is still the case,

I would like to learn as much as possible about becoming a lease owner.

I would appreciate any and all help available.

Regards,

Richard J. Baird

There will be No Drop in Prices at the Pump, unless We use the 10-15% of Our Current (Oil Reserve) otherthan that...Deal with the Following Facts..

This Oil will go to Market and Brings what the market Bares and we'll still have High Prices to Contend with...Simple and Plain

Thats what the Big Oil Corporations and the Mass Media are Withholding from All of You.

Anyway this offshore Oil Drilling is a Farce....

Big Oil Corporations have 38 Million Offshore Oil Land Leases and they hav'nt begun to Drill on these Already Aquired Lands and Big Oil also has 68 Million Land leases to Drill for Oil....

Yet the Money Hungry Whores want More Land....

What next, an Oil Field in Every Shore, City and State....

If Big Oil Gets its way, Imminent Domain will be in "Full Effect"

Your Neighborhood will be Next !!!

Drill all You want, the Oil is Going to Market and it will Bring, what the Market Bares and America will in all liklihood, will See no Any Substantial Decrease at the Pump.

Most of our Oil Comes from (Canada) the Upper North...

Not Saudia Arabia !!

Sorry, but Facts are Facts

It will take quite some Time, to See any of this Oil, in any Event.

Who Voted Against More Offshore Oil Drilling, When Jimmy Carter Wanted More Oil Drilling in the 70's..Hmmm

Answer: Most of the Senators and Congress.

Who Voted Against Drilling in ANWR in the 80's ?

Answer: John McCain and Other Senators and Congressmen & Women

Which Past President(s) Voted Against Drilling in ANWR and more Offshore Lands ?

Answer: Reagan, Bush Sr and Bill Clinton, along with the Senate and the Congress and guess What Senator Voted Against Oil Drilling as well, during that Time....

Senator John McCain....

McCain Has such a Great Track Record on Oil Independence..huh

McCain's 25 Year Senate Record will be EXPOSED in this Offshore Oil Debate....

McCain was Not Pro Offshore and ANWR Drilling, until...

NOW in an Election Year !!!

When he KNOWS that this Oil Drilling Scam and gas Tax Holiday is a Farce for the Gullible and Simple Minded.

off shore drilling

enery self-reliance--a must for each country. The US is not the exception. It doesn't make sense to protect a world in which more and more of US citizens are becoming miserable due to the high cost of not only gasoline but everything else petrolum affects. Time to communicate with House Reps and Senators to authorize ASAP the competitive US companies to drill off-shore and on-land to get the ball rolling on the way to a better economy.

offshore and ANWR

Bob..please wake up & smell the coffee..you are so looney like lady Pelosi and Mr Clean Shorts/Reid in the Senate..wake UP little Suzie!..wake up! The whole populace is in favor or do you not understand the wave that is heading your way(?). It is what the people of the United States wants NOW. Thanks for listening..

Energy & the US Dollar

Energy independence is the way to reviving the value of the US dollar on the World Market. Oil Drilling, Wind, Solar, Hydrogen,CleanCoal, and Nuclear, ALL provide JOBS for the citizens of the USA. We need it all- Jobs are created here, more money stays here- instead of being given to other countries, more homeowners can hold on to their homes- instead of losing them to foreclosure. Energy independence is also the way out of the Middle East. We won't need their crap. There is no reason why the US needs to become a third world country. WE ARE SMARTER & BETTER THAN THIS. Wake up America !

Oil drilling & building refineries NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Through out the liberal left that has kept us from being energy efficient for the last several years. If enough of us will write and demand what the majority wants in America, they would begin to change their votes. It maybe to late to save their political future.

offshore oil drilling is bad for america

The only reason that this is even being considered by congress is because of BIG OIL MONEY that is lobbying them. STOP SELLING OUT OUR COUNTRY TO PROFITS.
