The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. I am tired of this separation-of-church-and-state junk.

I wish sometimes they would just come out and be honest, and instead of saying we are doing this in the name of conservation, say we just don't like oil and gas, and we want to shut down oil and gas, if they would just be honest about that.

The hypocrisy with which the Biden administration approaches energy production on public lands must be addressed.

Reducing American oil and gas production only drives demand and profits to countries like Iran and Russia. This is insanity.

Forcing the taxpayer to pay for yet another subsidy for an industry that cannot support America's energy needs while the cost of energy skyrockets is irresponsible.

These additional fees, as you know, will ultimately harm returns and reduce revenues to state and local governments by disincentivizing development on our Federal lands.

Do you think that the proposed fluid mineral leasing rule will do the opposite in many instances, and actually prevent responsible domestic energy production?

This fluid mineral leasing rule is further proof that Joe Biden is using every tool in his Administration to dismantle American energy production.

This is clearly another tactic from the Biden administration to de-incentivize domestic energy production.

I urge you to prioritize responsible policy-making that safeguards our environment, protects public health, and ensures the financial stability of our communities.

From Day 1 of his administration, Joe Biden has declared an all-out war on American energy production and exploration.

We need to stop buying oil and gas from Russia, stop begging OPEC, Venezuela, and even Iran to produce energy for us, and start producing more energy responsibly right here in America.

This is why I introduced the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, to terminate this proposed rule and to protect American energy producers.
