Questions for Senators on Energy Committee that I want answers to:

[OregonBlue]

These are the questions I sent to the members of the Senate Energy Committee.

How much of the oil companies profit is going into their stock buy-back program?

Is the cost of that buy-back written off of their profits?

If the stock buy-back is added back into their profit, what is the actual profit margin?

What portion of their budgets go to research and development?

What portion goes to increased refining capacity?

What are the salaries of their executives?

How much money have they contributed to Senate and Congressional campaigns and who was it contributed to? How much did you personally receive?

How much is paid each year in royalties to oil companies for drilling for oil on public lands?

What is the total of tax breaks given each year to each oil company?

Until you force the oil companies to disclose this information, the American people will not know if we are being hoodwinked.
