High Oil, Gas, and Energy Prices... Thank The Democrats ! ! !

Angry over those high gas prices? Are skyrocketting gasoline prices taking a real bite out of your wallet?

Blame the Democrats and environmentalists!!! ...Don't blame President Bush.

Democrats (Liberals) and environmentalists are responsible for much of America's dependence on foreign oil, for high gasoline prices, high heating oil prices, high natural gas prices, high energy costs, and for the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS that have gone and are going to other countries.

TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in oil related spending and revenue could have and should have gone to American petroleum suppliers, to American businesses, to American workers, to American families, and for American taxes -- taxes that could have gone to America's education system and to increase American's incomes!

Democrats and environmentalists have blocked efforts to drill for more of America's oil and natural gas! Democrats and environmentalists have blocked efforts to build more refineries, to develop coal liquification and gasification, to develop America's oil shale, to expand the use of nuclear power, and more.

Democrats and environmentalists continue to block drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) which some estimates predict could produce 30 billion barrels of oil. At $75 per barrel, that's 2.25 TRILLION DOLLARS that could and should remain in America. Even more oil and natural gas could be produced from along our coasts and in other areas within the United States.

And what about all the jobs associated with American oil and gas? Some projections estimate ANWR alone could produce as many as 735,000 jobs and multiple billions of dollars in revenue to the state and federal government. A study by the National Defense Council Foundation projects that ANWR could produce 1,000,000 new jobs for Americans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Where are these jobs going now -- along with those TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in oil revenue, salaries, taxes, and American dollars? Those jobs are going to Iran, Venezuela, and other nations to support their economies and to fund their military... to Iran to help develop nuclear weapons and missiles to possibly destroy Israeli and American cities.

It takes time to locate, drill, produce, build new refineries, and distribute oil and gasoline. That oil, gas, and gasoline would be available NOW -- IF -- Democrats and environmentalists had not blocked past efforts. Those TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS could have remained in America and held down our balance of payments -- IF -- Democrats and environmentalists had not blocked past efforts.

America must work to produce new, plentiful, cheap, and renewable fuels and energy, but that will take time. In the mean time, we will continue to rely on petroleum -- AMERICAN oil, gasoline, and natural gas. As we work to develop and produce those new energy sources, we must start drilling in ANWR, along our coasts, and other areas for the oil we need now!

As for those caribou that were supposed to be driven to extinction by the Alaska pipeline... just more of the usual liberal scare tactics.

The caribou are thriving! The Central Arctic caribou herd which numbered around 6,000 in 1977 when the Alaska pipeline begun delivering oil has grown to more than 27,000 by 2006!

DEMOCRATS...

Stop blocking access to American's oil and gas!

Stop blocking efforts to reduce the price of oil and gas!
