September 12, 2008 Energy Update
Energy Pledge
Today, I signed the Energy Rally for American Pledge. I pledge to the American people that I will vote in favor of the American Energy Act, add no earmarks to the legislation and send it to the President for signing, before Congress adjourns prior to the November elections. To find out more about this effort please visit this website.

Lifting the Off Shore Drilling Moratorium
This week I signed a letter to the President requesting he veto any spending bills that include the moratorium on Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and natural gas exploration. To read the entire letter click here. The American people support increasing our American energy resources by opening up the OCS to oil and natural gas exploration, and we should let the current moratorium expire on September 30th.

In Case You Missed It
I wanted to draw your attention to this article by John Stossel. He makes a good argument that it shouldn't be up to the government to create jobs, specifically "green jobs." Instead, it should be up to small businesses and entrepreneurs. Instead, the government should make it easier to create jobs.

McMorris Rodgers

This will only take a quick fisking of her insanity.

The American Energy Act is the Big Oil bill designed to destroy the planet, especially the oceans around North America, for the purpose of short term (80 year) solution to how to keep the highest profits and smallest lifestyle changes while global climate change trashes all of us. But she doesn't care at all about the people, she only cares that her financial contributors continue to support her and her lifestyle to which she has grown accustomed. Or: have you not heard about the problems in Denver that are costing "the people" tens of billions of dollars not being paid by Big Oil????

Asking Bush to veto such legislation by signing a letter written by lobbyists for her GOP Congressional bosses (you remember she worked directly for Ney, Foley, Pombo, Doolittle, and Hastert before she didn't). Like she has always done, she is the little school girl dutifully obeying her elders and teachers.

John Stossel???? John Stossel???? Need i say more. The man is the embodiment of fabricating lies and misinformation for whomever will pay him the best for such services. His record of untruths and deceit is long, yet on he goes in the best Fox News/ABC-Disney kisses lipstick on a pig's ass tradition.
