Prompted by Grassfire.org, I faxed the following today:
------------
Speaker Pelosi, Presidential Candidates, Senators Feinstein and Boxer, Representative Rohrabacher, and Senate Majority Reid,
Something is desperately wrong when We the People are getting abused by our government in favor of special interests.
I have thought about this long and hard and I can't help but believe that some of that $500-$700 billion that we send to oil producing nations is coming back to our lands in the form of lobbyist efforts, interference (legal) efforts, and media influence in order to do what? KEEP US DEPENDENT ON THEIR OIL.
Stop it! I don't care who donates to your election/re-election campaigns that want to keep things the way they are. You were elected by the American people and YOU HAVE A DUTY to do what is in the best interest of We the People!
No wonder Congress’ approval ratings are in the single digits. At a time when Americans are being pinched at the pumps, Speaker Pelosi is playing election year games with true energy independence!
I urge you to listen to the American people and GET SERIOUS ABOUT ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. Bring to the floor REAL, responsible legislation that lifts the drilling ban,increases shale oil exploration, and nuclear energy exploration as well as other alternative energy sources that bring us closer to true independence. The current Pelosi Energy bill is a sham!
Once again, leadership is showing it is hopelessly out of step with the American people. Just remember, WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION. Stop the energy charade and bring real energy legislation to the floor.
