I heard from Nicole earlier in the week. She says another major company has requested our information. I am sure they will be lining up once the DEC gives the go ahead with drilling. This drilling issue has gone from a safety issue to a political issue. I think even most of the anti drillers believe the facts that this is really going to be regulated right and be safe. Now the politicians I am sure are smart enough to know that this is going to be safe BUT, it is an election year and they need all the votes they can get from the anti side. It is to bad that they can hold us land owners hostage like that. Kenny, John and I went to Binghamton on Thursday night for the Joint Landowners Coalition meeting. It was a very good meeting. They are organized and fighting for our rights every day. They had two young fellows from Energy In Depth there. They represent the oil and gas industry. They say the best thing we can do is to keep writing our politicians. Kenny paid for the SCLOC to get their information on a brochure that is going to be handed out at the biggest meeting of the oil and gas industries trade show. Last year we were told the Friendsville Group (the ones that signed the $5750 deal) got 10 leads from the same meeting.The  Maine coalition  signed a contract this week. They are  in NY also, so there is hope. It might not look it, but we have a lot going for us. Let's keep our momentum going forward.

Until next week,
