Get your facts straight. The previous contacts were negotiated by the Department of Interior in 1998.....Hmmm whose department was it at this time? How quickly we forget, Bill Clinton's.

These leases were negotiated in good faith by the oil companies with the government. Now the government is attempting to go back and change them. This is not a way to do business. Nor is it a very legal manuever. If this passes the Senate, I find it highly unlikely it will pass judicial review.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
