The United States of America has more than three times the domestic oil in one oil field found in the Rocky Mountains  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5424033  
than Saudi Arabia has in their entire country.  The good news gets even better for the American voters and public.  There has been a recent discovery of a gigantic oil field in the South Dakota and Montana region. This discovery is three times larger than the Rocky Mountains find.  http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news2.13s.html  This find has been estimated as a  super massive 200 billion barrel oil field that could potentially make America energy independent for generations.   This new oil field will raise American reserves times 10.  This monumental asset  will offer  many generations of Americans the resources needed to run our economy and raise the quality of life for all in our country.  These oil fields are America’s greatest natural resource and quite possibly the American workers brightest future.  Oil field workers will be in high demand and should reap very good jobs in today’s market. These fields will provide high paying long term employments with benefits to workers and a substantial tax base for infrastructure improvement throughout America, just when it is needed.  Added to these facts is the ANWR field in Alaska.  Governor Palin has pushed ANWR's as an energy resource and Alaska's ability to produce more domestic energy while providing high paying long term jobs.  These jobs  will offer a vast improvement in the quality of life to all Alaskans.  Another gold mine for all Americans reside on both on east and west coasts and the gulf of Mexico.  The continental shelf is a great untaped resource.   China, Holland, Spain, France, and Canada  are working with the Cuba government in the gulf of Mexico to access this countries natural resources.
                                                                               
          America has the perfect opportunity at the perfect time.  America needs oil and high paying jobs with benefits.  The economy needs a boost and this is it.  America’s continued funding of terror supporting regimes via the oil market, has been and will continue to be national security issue of the highest magnitude.  To continue to fund terror supporting states like  Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia , and Venezuela at this or any other time is beyond reason.  Since the United States has not added an oil refinery since 1976, there is a great opportunity for economic and job growth in this area also.  Again, this growth features high paying long term jobs with benefits, something that everyone desires. Iron workers, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, millwrights, laborers, painters, all the technical workers, office workers and engineers will be needed for America’s refinery expansion.
    The Democrats for decades have controlled America’s oil resources by supporting the environmentalists agenda.  The world’s economic growth, consumption, and the Democrats leftist policies have driven the price up and supply availability down. Democratic legislation has raised oil prices and sent jobs over seas.  Current legislation will not and has not increased oil supply while demand has multiplied causing prices to rise.  This failure will continue to cause voters financial distress. With recent legislation tabled to ban oil drilling in Alaska permanently,  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6236367.stm the Democrats have decided the American voters desire higher energy prices.  In fact, the Pelosi, Reid, Democratic congress has added $18 billion of news taxes on America’s biggest oil companies. With world wide consumption levels higher than production levels by approximately 5 million barrels a day.* http://www.saudinf.com/main/z001.htm Americans can expect the oil price to continue to rise.  Opening oil fields will provide more oil into the market at a time when every American is needing
                                                                   
lower prices. At this time, the American consumers are at the mercy of OPEC and  Marxist states like Venezuela.  America’s economy and every citizen  is dependent on the most unstable countries in the world and stated enemies. Clearly, this is an economic and national security disaster in progress.  At this time, the U.S. government has failed to met the needs of the people.  
    This author notes that Iran is in the process of building seven refineries, adding  jobs and gasoline accessibility for the Iranian people. http://www.payvand.com/news/08/jun/1006.html  Iran will not be dependent on any country unlike the United States.  Even the Iranians know that energy independence stabilizes the economy and protects their national security. I would suggest that American consumers have assisted in paying for the Iranian energy expansion and has provided jobs for the Iranian people.  These same funds have had a devastating effect on American troops in Iran’s proxy war against the U.S.  Clearly, OPEC is the beneficiary of the Democratic energy policy and not the American people. It is this writers opinion, that ultimately America is better off with high paying long term jobs that lower energy prices and energy independence from the Middle East. If America chooses we can have  more high paying jobs in the energy sector.  The American people must demand government act responsibly at this time.  For you and your family,  I ask that you call, write, or email your state and federal representatives to let them know what you think of this great opportunity.  Clearly, our elected officials need the wisdom of American people at this time. The answer for America’s energy and financial problems reside in our backyard.
