An Open Letter To Senator John McCain:
I am a conservative republican and agree with most of your views. I hope your understanding of economics 101 is on par with the rest of the people currently having problems of why you do not support drilling off our shores and elsewhere. We do need good alternative fuels; ethanol is not one of them and the bill enacted withdrawn. Untill alternative fuels are readily available to replace oil to power our transportation needs and to become truly independent of foreign stock, we are compelled to drill in our own back yard.
Is it good for the Chinese, Cubans, etc. to drill 50 - 90 miles off our shores and take our reserves? The American people believe this will be a travesty.
What is your reasoning to continue to not allow drilling or the building of new gas refineries? I pray you make the right decision to get us out of this oil mess and vote to allow drilling off shore, and anywhere where large reserves will make us independent.
With the current tecnology, impact on the environment will not be an issue.
( If you concur, please let Senator McCain know how you feel)
All of us know the price of gas is high and going higher. Why do the networks report on all the misery of folks having a hard time buying gas, etc. Why doesn't the networks report on what is being done to find more oil, build more refineries and report on the new technologies in oil exploration. Why report on all the profits being made and politicians wanting to tax those profits which will magically reduce the cost of gas at the pump? The more the networks tell the lies, tell them long enough and some viewers will begin to believe it... I have been told from a few in the oil industry, that there is enough oil in the US to not have to relie on imports. Why do we not go and get it. Come on people use the gray matter; it has lain fallow long enough.
