They’re back; you know the, we could not be bothered with your little problems democrats who went on their taxpayer funded vacations while you and I wondered where the next tank of gas was coming from, yeah those people. I say we give them a little welcoming back party our style complete with drill here phone calls every minute of the day and emails up the you know what saying drill here and secure our borders now. Now just to get you motivated I am going to explain how a sustained higher gas price can really start to hurt. Not that it is not a major pain in the rear already, but the fact is it can and will get worse. High gas prices affect everything and yes that even means your job, bosses faced with continued high gas prices can only continue to keep employees if they can afford them, when it comes to a choice between keeping the company running and letting people go I think we all know what is going to happen. This does not just affect those companies that use trucking, it also affects those who pay stipends, or give you a gas card, it affects companies that have to have regular lawn work done to keep up appearances, and it affects those who rely on shipping to or from.



Most business plans do not include a long range plan for sustained high gas prices and those who have not figured in the price of gasoline into their budgets are starting to really hurt and when they hurt, we do to. You can expect an even worse housing downturn as people are already in trouble with their mortgages and it has nothing to do with the sub prime lending rates and everything to do with not being able to buy fuel and pay their bills too. As we head into the winter months you can expect much higher heating bills as a result of the high oil prices so you’re already hurting finances will not see any relief then either, add to that Christmas and by New Years it can add up to one major nationwide headache. Now if I can figure out all of that it makes you wonder why the democrats cannot, or if they can do they even care? The simple solution to this problem is drilling here at home, while the democrats say it will not help, they have yet to come up with any solution that will, inflating our tires is not going to lower the gas prices, all of these wonderful fuel efficient cars will only work if everyone can afford them and if they decide that they are going to make sure we all can then you and I know who will be paying for that and it will reek of Nazi Germany.



Solar and wind power sound good but out of the range of most average Americans and really what about those who rent and live in apartments, they are at the mercy of the owner of the building as to what type of fuel they are allowed to use to heat their homes. Drilling in America will bring much needed jobs back to the US, it will bring much needed money back to our economy, yes some of our oil may be sold on the market but when it is that money will go to the US, it is time to crank up our oil wells again it is time to become independent again. As the democrats go around talking about this will only help the big oil companies here in America, some of us might want to ask why it is bad to help the oil companies in America and not bad to help the big oil companies in terrorist countries where their allegiances obviously lie. The democrats have been supporting big oil, they are supporting it right now, they support it every single day they refuse to lift the drilling ban, and the difference is it isn’t American oil. Now just in case you have forgotten or misplaced their phone numbers let me give them to you.



US Capitol toll free 877-851-6437 or 866-220-0044
866-340-9281 or 800-417-7666



This stalemate will not end without your help, we must keep the pressure up, we must fight to the bitter end and we must never back down, our countries lively hood depends on you. We as Americans have a duty to assure that our country remains free and independent and we will never be independent if we must rely on foreign oil. We must drill here and we must drill now, we must break the dependence on foreign oil, we must bring the jobs and our money home and we must do it today.

Here, Here! Amen, Carolyn! Hopefully, a VP from Alaska will help to call for drilling in ANWR.

By the way, any change in illegal aliens coming across? Has it waned any since all the calls went to Washington after the Amnesty try?

G'morning Mrs C.,

Every driver should have the numbers of their state, and fed reps/senators. Many don't know their reps names. They know the stats of their favorite NASCAR, baseball, football stars. REAL citizenship is hard. It takes effort.

Your assertion that wind power is out of range of many is right on target too. As I stated in a post I originated on T. Boone dispicable Pickens,
he is heavily invested in wind. He wants, needs, must have huge subsidies to make wind work. Hope he looses his rear on that one. Just deserts! On the other hand he's also invested in nat. gas. This is one I hope he makes a KA-JILLION dollars on. It would reduce gasoline consumption greatly. All that being said, nat. gas will not drag 80k down the road. We need diesel and that comes from oil or liquified coal technologies. US produced oil stops the funding of islamo-fascist regimes.

Put the phone numbers in your speed dials "sports fans" and for goodness sake, use them. When you bother to call, they use the assumption that there are many more out here who think the same thing.... Be a real citizen.

Dave

Thanks guys hey Jimmy were you been as for illegal immigration we are making headway but as with drilling there is still a lot of work to be done. By the way I uploaded my daughters Air Force graduation video it is right here it is very long about 41 minutes and a big download so it is up to you but I think I did a wonderful job...

I called one change-over repair shop that does conversions to natural gas. They told me it would cost $20,000 to convert my $2500 Focus from it's 35pmg gas engine to natural gas. I think they just didn't want the business. The average Joe can't afford a conversion. It's for new car sales, in my opinion. But it Would Work!
