Mike Cantrell
Harold Hamm of Continental Resources has hired veteran Oklahoma oilman Mike Cantrell of Ada and will host Republican president Mitt Romney at a fundraiser in his home on May 9th.
Hamm is Romney’s national energy adviser.
Cantrel is Continental’s vice president of government and regulatory affairs.
Cantrell is president of the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, an industry advocacy group founded by Hamm, who said, “Mike Cantrell is a true visionary in America’s energy industry. Through his leadership of numerous industry groups, Mike has played a key role in promoting America’s oil and natural gas resources and, in effect, he has helped create thousands of jobs and significantly increase America’s energy independence.”
“I wouldn’t do this for any other American but Harold Hamm,” Cantrell said. “He’s just a unique individual. Harold’s not content just to run a company. He wants to change the world, and I appreciate that.”
Cantrell has owned and operated his own oil and natural gas companies and been a leader in numerous indusry groups include the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association and the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board.
As a member of a Federally Recognized Tribe and a Christian at Hamm’s Brother Del’s church in Oklahoma, I do not think the pollution caused by the
Keystone Pipeline should be risked in bringing in sludge from Canada. The Bakken has destroyed the Dakota area and it is a shame. I hope the Judge will not let such attrocities happen in Oklahoma. We have to protect the environment, the water and the ground we live on. The fracturing is fracturing our Mother Earth. I checked with the Oklahoma Tax “Commission and Hamm is still using my fathers name as a principal for the exempt tax reasons when my father has been deceased for 20 years. His name was Dean Martin Colbert, Sr. he helped build the founding church of Hillcrest Christian Church.
