What about the people whose land is being drilled, since they don't own mineral rights? The oil speculators pretty much force them to sign an agreement that they will clean up, up to a certain amount of dollars, which doesn't repair the land. If the landowner doesn't sign, he/she doesn't even get that.
So big oil gets what they want and destroy property and landowners and walk away with full pockets. Sounds just right for the GOP.

They promise not to be Obama.
That's all they have...
Gee, and you STILL got nothing but "He's not Obama"...
Gee, I wonder if Gov "I'm Not Obama" realizes that running on "I'm not Obama" is not going to be enough...since apparently he doesn't have a single idea that isn't recycled George W. Bush drivel that's been proven not to work?
Romney is down by 4 points or 6 points, depending on whose poll you look at. (He only got a 1-point bump with Ryan, and that's fading fast as more comes out about his voting record and hypocrisy.)
You can always amend a contract or ask them to strike out or modify a clause. Signer beware! I've done it before for employment contracts. If they won't change it, say no thanks! Probably should hire a lawyer for mineral rights or leases IMO
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
