It's Time to Get on American Resources

The U.S. is producing a lot more oil than it did just a few years ago. Yet the price at the pump hasn't dropped a single penny. Why not? Because we import so many billions of dollars worth of OPEC oil that we end up paying global prices.

There's only one way to stop this, and that's by getting on American resources. We've got the cheapest energy in the world. The only way we can control our own destiny and jump-start our economy is by using all of our resources.

That's the reason behind a recent series of conversations I've posted on YouTube - to encourage a national dialogue about getting America the energy plan it needs and deserves. If you haven't already, I encourage you to watch more of these videos at www.pickensplan.com/boonecam or on YouTube.
