Not enough of the current population remember the gas lines of the 70's. That was over 35 years ago. Just imagine if we just did a little something back then.
Instead we are partisan paralyzed complimented by an apathetic constituency that tolerates it.

Drilling will send a message to the OPEC we are serious about cutting them off some day.
They like the Washington DC crowd know the average American will bitch but DO NOTHING!!!!
They must be amused at how easy it is to take the strongest nation on earth to it's knees.
The MidEast is over whelming the USA without the need to fire a shot!!!

And yes, all the other alternatives should be pursued with vigor instead of lip service.

We need to re-awaken the spirit that took this country from what it was in the early 1900's to the year 2001.
We need to be one America....I for one am sick and tired of the childish, unproductive partisan polarity that is holding us back.

Any way I hope you all write your representatives.Jimmy Duncan, Jr. the 2nd District Congressional Congressman has a bil underway called The no more excuses energy independence bill. He had something similar passed by congress and the senate some years ago.....ahem....it was vetoed by then President Clinton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drill NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
