“Big Oil” Bob Schaffer website is a publication to show Mr. Schaffer’s stance on oil and how he is allegedly involved with big oil. Some interesting facts on this publication show that Mr. Schaffer’s oil company has been directly involved in the recent deprecating lands:

"Our public lands are being destroyed because oil executive like Bob Schaffer support record profits over responsible drilling," noted Michael Goodman of Rifle, Colorado, who has been hunting elk since he was 18.

Fact: Schaffer's oil company has an acquisition arm in Colorado's oil industry including 28 producing gas wells in the Piceance Basin of Colorado reported on June 20, 2006. (Aspect Energy website)”

Republican Colorado Senate Candidate Robert Schaffer is the most recent public official signing to repeal the Death Tax. The more research on candidates who are currently in or running for a seat in either Congress or Senate, the more you see that nearly everyone is opposed to the death tax.

So why the Death Tax is is still being implemented and has not been overturned yet? Very simple: election year. Once the election is over the issue of the death tax, which is one of the most unfair and completely unneeded taxes, will be overlooked and be continued to happen to citizens across the United States.

The Death Tax will not be repealed because the Government needs the tax. They continue to borrow the money to spend like a “drunken sailor” and when that does not work, they have to tax the average American like there is no tomorrow.

Let’s hope that Mr. Schaffer will continue to uphold is promise to help repeal the Death Tax.

The Colorado Senate race is among six which Republican Senator John Ensign characterized as being within the margin of error according to polls for the National Republican Senatorial Committee which is led by the Nevada Senator. The implication is clearly that in a year where Republicans are troubled by the burden of an unpopular outgoing administration, so many "pick 'em" races is "so far, so good" for the Republicans.
