You know what peeves me today? All you morons out there crying about oil or lack of oil. There is no oil shortage in America. There is no need to drill off the Florida coast or in Alaska. We already have enough oil to last us and our great-great-great-great grandchildren the rest of our lives.
I read the letters to the Editor in the newspaper, why? Mostly to get a laugh out of how really stupid and gullible people really are. Today, there was a dude bashing the country because he’s afraid of not having enough gas to drive his SUV. I guess he’s got stock in oil and can afford the $4.00 + per gallon.
People like him and some of you that believe what you read and hear from the news media, the W. and the likes, should get what’s coming to you for not thinking for yourselves. To believe that crap, is crap. Learn how to read between the lines. The real truth is out there if you really look for it.
The only reason W. now wants to drill for more is, HELLO, are you listening? W. and Cheney are BIG OIL stock holders. Did you forget about that, what about Halliburton? All his begging and crying to the Saudis to produce more oil is outrageous. They are sitting over laughing their butts off at him. The war for oil in Iraq? W. and Daddy both failed at securing that oil for the US. And what do they have to show for it? Death to thousands of innocent people. Outright murderers who need to be brought to justice.
God Bless America.

Please read this, if nothing more. This letter from a member of the US Congress speaks for itself in where America is with the so-called “Oil Crisis.”
July 21, 2008
Dear Mrs. Adamski:
Thank you for expressing your opinion regarding increased drilling for oil. I appreciate you taking the time to share your views with me.
As you may know, expanded drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is currently prohibited by both law and an executive order dating back to President George H.W. Bush. Although additional drilling is currently banned, it is estimated that 81% of oil and natural gas resources on federal lands is already available for development. Oil companies, however, are not producing on the nearly 68 million acres of federal land already under their control. Offshore, big oil is producing on only about 20 percent of the acres they hold, while onshore, companies are producing on less than 30 percent of the acres they hold. These unused areas could produce an additional 4.8 million barrels of oil and 44.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas each day, nearly double the current domestic oil production. Although this bill did not pass on a recent vote, I will press for its consideration again.
Instead of giving the oil and natural gas companies more land to drill on, I have cosponsored a bill which would require these companies to utilize the land already under their control. The Responsible Federal Oil and Gas Lease Act of 2008, H.R. 6251, employs a “use it or lose it” tactic that will require oil and natural gas companies to either produce oil from their holdings or give up the federal onshore and offshore leases they are stockpiling. The bill bars oil companies from obtaining any additional leases unless they can demonstrate that they are producing oil and natural gas, or are diligently developing the leases they already hold.
Increased oil production, however, is only one part of the solution to our energy needs. Congress is holding hearings about the impact of commodities market speculation on oil prices, reducing barriers to the importation of Canadian oil, and investing in alternative energy sources, including cellulosic ethanol.
Finally, we need to reduce any barriers to importing Canadian oil. I offered an amendment to H.R. 6052, the Saving Energy Through Public Transportation Act, that would reduce those barriers. My amendment passed 421-0, and the bill was approved 221-199. I remain confident that if we work together, America will solve the energy crisis.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your views with me. I hope you will continue to keep me informed of your views on this issue and other issues of interest to you.

Member of Congress
Are you people getting this now? We have plenty of oil and land to drill on now. We do NOT need to drill offshore or in Alaska and endanger to extinction ourselves and our wildlife. I urge you to write your congressman and tell them “NO more drilling in new areas until we (they) have exhausted their current available sources.”
Send your own letter to your representatives. Just copy and paste, add your own extra content, fill in the reps name and your name and address, print and mail or send an e-mail. However you do it, JUST DO IT. We need to speak out against the crimes against the people of the United States of America from those that we have “chosen” to serve us.
Dear ________,
I’m writing because I am alarmed by President Bush’s recent decision to lift the executive moratorium on offshore drilling.
Bush’s own Energy Department has said that opening up our protected coastal areas would have no real impact on current levels of domestic crude oil and natural gas production or on the prices Americans are paying at the pump.
The devastating impacts of America’s addiction to oil on our economy and the environment have proven that our country’s future can not be in fossil fuels.
We need your leadership to break our country’s addiction to fossil fuels and to start investing in a clean energy future.
I urge you to put America on the path toward progress by supporting federal legislation that promotes clean, alternative energy, recharges America’s economy and reduces global warming pollution.
Sincerely,
(your name & address)
