Lou,
"How lucky you can be" my Nisei friend, Sgt. Noburu Yamomoto, used to proclaim to me in our barrack in Japan. Of course he was looking at Jeanie's portrait by my bed. "How you get such a beautiful woman, boy?" I have so many great friends such as you who find and forward the best emails to me, Lou.
John 3:16 for you and me and all of our friends!
Sam

Subject: OIL - you better sit down.
sure nobody will believe this, but just check it out on the link below & see for yourself. This Government has this whole country fooled & they don't even know it. GOD Bless..
Here's an interesting letter, important and verifiable information :
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and
One of The Forbes Bros. Was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to Ask You a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil Does The U.S. Have in the ground?"
Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more Than all the Middle East put together." Please read below.
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only
Scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a
Revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in
This Area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and
Extreme Eastern Montana ..... Check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe
Bay, And has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign
Oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion Barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... At $107 a barrel, We're looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3 trillion.
"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see
Their Jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found In
The past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a Formation
Known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the
'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and
Into Canada. For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead
End. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells
Decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... And we now have access of up to 500 Billion Barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels Will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years
Straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one
Should - because it's from 2006!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the
Largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION
Barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In
Three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this Motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders,
Than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the
Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America
Become Independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of
People Dictate our lives and our economy....WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in
This very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION Barrels Untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the World today, reports The Denver Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think Again!
It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to.
Think OPEC just Might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:
Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you
Should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices - by
Doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you
Sent this to every one in your address book.
By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!!
GOOGLE it, or follow this link. It will blow your mind.

Governor Arnold of California retreats with his support of o care.

Sam,
As candidate, President Obama promised us that healthcare negotiations would be covered by C-SPAN "so that the American people can see what the choices are."
So much for promises. As Speaker Pelosi laughingly responded this week when asked about the President's C-SPAN promise: "There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail."
Today, leaders from the House and Senate are meeting with White House officials behind closed doors to finalize healthcare legislation, but C-SPAN and all of us are shut out.
But you can help do something about it. Will you call your Senator and ask him or her to stand by the President's promise to let C-SPAN in and cover the healthcare negotiations?
As a candidate, President Obama said we should "not underestimate the degree to which ...you can shame Congress into doing the right thing if people know what's going on."
Maybe he was right. Maybe we can shame Congress into doing the right thing.
Please call today.
Sincerely,

P.S. Did you hear the news that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has reversed his support for healthcare legislation? In a speech yesterday before the California legislature, Schwarzenegger said this: "Now, as you know, while I enthusiastically supported health care reform, it is not reform to push more costs onto states that are already struggling while other states are getting sweetheart deals. Health care reform, which started as noble and needed legislation, has become a trough of bribes, deals and loopholes. Yet you've heard of the bridge to nowhere. Well, this is health care to nowhere."
