Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Are you in favor on giving a foreign company eminent domain powers to build a pipeline from a foreign county to our port refineries so tat it can be easily refined and sold to China?
Tea Partiers that are actually directly affected are saying n'uh uh.
The issue erupted into a noisy protest Friday in Paris, Texas, where farm manager Julia Trigg Crawford has sought a temporary restraining order to prevent the company, TransCanada, from beginning any construction or digging on her property until issues of legal jurisdiction are decided.
TransCanada has sought to dissolve a restraining order granted a week ago, saying it is legally entitled to pursue eminent domain proceedings along the proposed pipeline route under existing state and federal laws—though it says it has no plans to begin any construction.
The issue has brought conservative tea party groups out rallying alongside environmentalists opposed to tar sands oil production, united behind Crawford’s attempt to keep the pipeline from crossing her 600-acre farm in the town of Direct, near Paris, where she fears it could contaminate the creek that irrigates her fields and damage Native American burial artifacts.
“Protect Texas landowners over foreign tar sands pipelines,†said many of the signs being marched around outside the Lamar County Courthouse. At least 75 citizens — conservative property rights advocates, gray-haired landowners, environmental activists and even some Occupy protesters — filled the small courtroom.
“I never got a chance to go before a judge and say, ‘Judge, I don’t want to give them my land,’ †Crawford said in an interview. “Not only do I think the landowners are being bullied, but now they’re saying they want to have the right to be able to start construction. And they don’t even have a permit!â€

Allow oil to be refined at our US refineries? On our shores?
To create exports from America? Pump tax $'s into our nation? And help create a surplus on our shores for a couple generations to come?
NO WAY!

Canadian oil does not suddenly become a U.S. export simply because it is refined in a U.S. refinery. I also suspect mot of the tax revenue will go to Canada.
But, it does appear as though you are in favor of allowing a Canadian company eminent domain over U.S. property holders.
