Notice how Obama and many of the congressmen and senators will try to dissuade folks by saying drilling won't have any effect for at least five years!!!!
SO? What is their point? In the 70's if they would have done something they could have had 35+ years to make SOMETHING happen.
Over 2/3 of the American people are now in favor of drilling....anywhere in the USA.
Let's see how our lawmakers finesse the desires of the people....and more interesting how the same people will let them do it.

The Chinese, the Russians, Chavez and Castro are drilling 50 miles away....laughing at the US dummies.

Back in the forties some Japanese leaders were quoted as saying....I fear we have awakened the paper tiger.....after Pearl Harbor.
Where is that spirit.

Tonight's news was full of what schools will be taking away to be able to keep the buses running....why? Charge the Mom's and Dads with riding children a fuel surcharge per day per child. Don't dilute an already faltering education system to keep the buses rolling.

DON'T LET THE POLITICIANS SIDE STEP THE ISSUE WITH THE ANSWER IT WON'T DO ANY GOOD UNTIL 5+ YEARS FROM NOW.....AT LEAST THEN THERE WILL BE SOMETHING.

You want a real.....I mean REAL subject for change in Washington? How about energy independence.

As I have said before, the solution is easy.....get to your lawmakers and tell them what you think. If you haven't done so yet....you are part of the problem.
