The big news of the day in Santa Barbara County is Measure P. If this passes, our county and the entire state will sink even lower into the ranks of poverty. California was once ranked number 5 in economic standing in the world. Today it stands a number 8 in economic ratings. Liberals and progressives have devastated our county, state, and country with their forced regulations on every business they can bully.

I have listened to some of the arguments for Measure P and have yet seen or heard any proof of their accusations about how oil has contaminated any water source because of fracking or steam injection. What I have heard is a lot of what ifs, maybes, possiblys, and other unsubstantiated phrases from the Anti-Oil Brigade.

If Spain had said to Columbus, “What if?” or “Maybe,” where would the world be now?

I have a big concern for who is funding the Anti-Oil Groups here. If America stops producing oil, Arab countries that hate us will sell billions of barrels to us and supply their means for our destruction. The liberals in the ’70s had our speed limits lowered to 55 mph because it saved gas. With an instant mileage meter in today’s cars, we are able to see that as another untruth by the Anti-Oil bunch. Again, who is funding this attack on America?
