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

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.
