Thank you for your interest in our evolving situation. Whether an interest in public health and safety; the environment; energy or industrial perspective brings you here, welcome. Please allow me to preface any information you may find helpful with this statement that summarizes our regard for drilling. We are neither Democrats nor Republicans. We are registered Independent voters. We are both landowners and mineral interest owners, with a lease which allows EnCana to pursue our minerals. That lease provides for royalties and prevents EnCana from occupying the surface of our land. In the colloquial of my native Oklahoma, I am half shit-kicker and half tree-hugger. We are not against drilling in and of itself - but we are anti-stupidity and anti-greed which can drive corporations to cut corners and pursue a needed national resource at the wholly unnecessary and devastating expense of the nation's citizens and environment. Until such time as America can free itself of foreign energy dependence and develop sustainable renewable resources - of which we are in great favor - we must develop domestic reserves of fossil fuels. We hope the vision of our leaders will take us in the direction of sensible energy consumption as we, ourselves, practice diligent conservation of our Earth's precious resources of air, water, soil, flora and wildlife. We cherish biodiversity and strive every day of our lives to protect and provide for this extraordinary land we are so blessed to call our home. Our on-going struggle to co-exist with industry revolves around differing values, objectives and identities. While we support the economic growth this industry brings to the community and our neighbors who comprise it, we do not support the wholesale destruction of public health and the environment in the course of such development. We support responsible development. We do not support exploitation. We continually encourage responsible development, we continually experience the cost of exploitation. It is a source of inspiration and encouragement that many outdoor enthusiasts, environmentalists, ranchers, and regular landowners who live with or experience the harsh realities of this industry tend to support our position.
