Oil Patch Democrats are people whose careers or professions are in the petrochemical &/or energy industries or supplying materials & services to those industries. Starting from Houston Texas, the Capital of the Global Petrochemical Industrial Empire, we are open to anyone in the world whose livelihood is dependant upon these industries and who are not loyal to the Bush Administration. Primarily for activists in the Democratic Party, we welcome cooperation with Moderate Democrats, Progressive Democrats, Liberals, Libertarians, Greens and anyone else who knows that responsible, respectful professionals can do the job without making a mess.

Membership applications are moderated. Please tell us who you are, your profession and how it relates to the energy industries and where you live.
