Follow the Money.... All the wat to Saui Arabia and from there to Arafat


Oil, including Federal taxes on oil, is a big influence on world affairs. A true world wide, progressive agenda is to address and promote the issues of alternative fuel. The proliferation of alternative fuel sources will lead to:

· Greater democracy now in Arab countries

· Women right in Arab countries, Oil economy allows Saudis to keep their woman as second-class citizens.

· Reduction or elimination of oil money support for world terrorism

· Prevention of Global warming

· Reduction in Weather related catastrophes like we see now in Europe and Asia

· Increase in agriculture food production now reduced by air pollution (The pollution cloud over much of South East Asia)

· Stop the drilling in ecology sensitive areas, like Arctic Wild Life

· Prevent the marketing and use of Pesticides which are Oil-derivatives

· Reduce US need to intervene in many areas in the globe, e.g. Burma, Middle East, Mid Asia

· Reduce environmental destruction like the one threatening the Indigenous people in South America, Burma, Afghanistan etc…

· Prevent many health problems caused by Oil based air pollution which also increase health costs and insurance rates
