Jewish Leaders Join New Alliance Pitching Domestic Fossil Fuels W


‘A wonderful relationship between those who want an independent America and those who seek a strong and secure Israel’ Ron Kampeas


ASHINGTON — On page 15 of the most recent edition


of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association’s newsletter, beneath griping about perceived threats to the industry posed by President Barack Obama’s tax and energy policies, was a nugget of positive news: A new coalition had formed between the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, a national umbrella group, and the American Jewish community. “We have been able to agree


that there is common interest between our two groups regard- ing efforts to increase domestic oil and gas production and to de-


crease U.S. reliance on import- ed oil from the Middle East,” the newsletter reported. Among the group’s officers


is Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice-chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish Organizations, an organization that prides itself on striving to achieve a consen- sus among major Jewish groups on foreign-policy issues. But Hoenlein’s participation


should not be seen as a sign that a new consensus has emerged on this issue — the organized Jewish community has never managed to agree on a unified energy policy. Among the Presi- dents Conference’s members are groups that are on record oppos-


ing increased domestic drilling and hydraulic fracturing, com- monly known as fracking, and calling for alternatives to fossil fuels. Several Jewish organiza- tional leaders active on energy independence said they were barely aware of the new alli-


ance, dubbed the Council for a Secure America. “The emphasis that it has on


oil and natural gas is not where the community is,” said Rabbi David Saperstein, who heads the Reform movement’s Reli- gious Action Center, one of the groups that has led Jewish lob- bying for energy independence. “The preferred position is the de- velopment of alternative energy resources and reducing our de- pendence on fossil fuels.” On its website, the council


says it was established by “key domestic oil and gas produc- ers and leaders of the Jewish community,” and that it aims to promote public understand- ing about the importance of reducing American reliance


on imported Middle East oil. The group’s co-chairs are Sam-


uel (Sandy) Eisenstat, a major Jewish philanthropist and the founder and CEO of Abjac En- ergy, a private oil and gas ex- ploration company; and Har- old Hamm, a wildcatter from Oklahoma whose Continental Resources company is leading the oil boom in North Dakota. Hamm, a multibillionaire, was a top adviser to Mitt Romney’s failed presidential campaign. The group has made two out-


ings: One last month to Israel to review the country’s security needs, and one to North Dakota to tour Hamm’s innovations in oil exploration. Eisenstat said he hoped to have the council

History is something that at times can repeat itself, but not in this case; this house was here before this land it sits on became part of a country. Wow — if these walls could talk!


Kitchen is redone but still retains the old farmhouse look; new wiring, plumbing, heating, insulation, exterior siding (hardy plank) and central air. Although this house was built in 1763, we had the vision that with time we could bring it to the 21st century — and we succeeded.
