Another Bush Flip Flop! Tonight on ABC nightly news, I heard Bush say that we must decrease the availability of illegal drugs if we want to reduce consumption. Compare that statement to what Cheney says about energy. We must increase energy production because it is the American way of life, like the gas guzzler: the sport utility vans. By contrast, Cheney and Bush do not believe conservation or the encouragement of people to decrease their energy use would be significant ---- although they believe that if drugs are unavailable it will reduce or decrease individual consumption. The Toxic Texan and Oil-Slick Dick Cheney are hypocrites!!!!. They refuse to cap energy prices because they want to increase production which will increase their wealth and the wealth of their families and friends. The energy companies know they can gouge our wallets because Bush and Cheney won't do a damn thing. Why? Remember the oil, energy, electricity and chemical industries supported the Bush campaign with huge contributions. Where are the tee-shirts? More importantly, where is the special prosecutor who will investigate the energy-industry's shenanigans? What are Bush and Cheney connections with those shenanigans? JMOP

Beware! Bush and Cheney want to confiscate your property!!! An excerpt from an article in The Washington Post "Bush also plans to call for increased use of eminent domain, in which government can require the sale of private property for a project like a railroad, stadium or power line." …………………………………………………*************……………….. "The administration also plans to propose legislation allowing the seizure of private property to accelerate the construction of electrical power lines to alleviate shortages in transmission capacity that have worsened California's energy shortages and are threatening other parts of the country this summer, officials said. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission already has eminent domain authority over the siting of natural gas pipelines, but has no such power over long-distance electricity transmission lines. Vice President Cheney said the final report of an energy task force he leads will sidestep a major controversy over whether the Bush administration should drop a series of government lawsuits begun by the Clinton administration to force utilities to install modern pollution controls in aging coal-fired power plants. The energy plan, the culmination of three months of meetings by Cheney's task force, will be announced by Bush next week. Until now, administration officials have stressed the need to increase oil, gas and coal production to address the country's energy needs. But the details that emerged yesterday suggested the administration was attempting to respond to criticism that the plan had slighted conservation and environmental priorities. Even so, the plan will be heavily weighted in favor of increased production and transportation of oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy, officials said. …………………………********…………………………….. "Another official said the emphasis will be on "streamlining the permitting process" for new power plants. "The point is not to roll back regulations," an official said. "It's to create a business climate that has certainty in it."** Bush also plans to call for increased use of eminent domain, in which government can require the sale of private property for a project like a railroad, stadium or power line. "The issue is whether or not we should have the same authority on electrical transmission lines" as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has for gas pipelines, Cheney told CNN. "That's never been granted previously. That's one of the issues we've looked at." Other officials said he had decided to recommend the change." © 2001 The Washington Post Company Excerpt from Cheney Panel Backs Power Plant, Hybrid-Car Incentives By Mike Allen and Eric Pianin Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, May 9, 2001; Page A14 washingtonpost.com

Cool shirt but I can't get it to show up here! A pity! It's a good buy though. democrats.org Pat, not only do I worry about the oil rigs, but I worry about those huge electrical towers that Bush wants to build from one end of the country to the other. I heard a sad story from a woman from Georgia whose land had been confiscated by the government in order to build those towers There wasn't anything that she could do about it!!!! Bush and Cheney support the confiscation of an individual's property to build these horrible metal monsters!!!
