Something YOU Can Do To 'Jump Start' Our Congress About Oil... [by thecaptain]

The Captain's AMERICA:: Something YOU Can Do To 'Jump Start' Our Congress About Oil...
Here's a sample letter I received from a friend of mine that was sent recently to a U.S. Senator in Oklahoma. You can simply insert the name and insert the name of your local Congressman or Senator to resend...

'The Captain'

------------------

Dear (Cong. or Sen.)______________ :

I'm writing to you, as I have a few times before, in hope that you might hear my message and at least ponder it. I live in Florida and have 'NO' Senatorial representation, as you know, so I'm sorry to say I have to contact you when you have your own constituents to worry about. Please consider these thoughts about our looming gasoline situation...

#1. Why couldn't 'our' Government enact emergency legislation to force all 50 states to start using gasoline with the highest emissions standards (I believe this to be California) which would save the oil refineries a great deal of money, as they currently have to refine the gas to many different (I've heard nearly 30 different emission standards for the 50 states) emission standards. The costs to the refiners, of doing this, supposedly is very great, not to mention the added costs of transporting the fuel to the different states (they have to clean out all of the tankers, etc.). I believe this would also satisfy many of the environmentalists also. I see this as a win-win situation...

#2. Why can't we start pumping from any & all oil wells in the nation, that we previously pumped from, that may have been abandoned, or production has been slowed???

#3. It's time for our Congress to stop the partisanship and do what's best for our citizens and our country's security/future, etc. and by that I mean stop bickering about drilling for oil in ANWR and off the coasts of California & Florida. Our nation has not experienced an off-shore oil accident before, even when hurricanes have hit, and the problems we've had with 'spills' have been in the shipping aspect. It's time someone stood up in the Senate as well as the House and told the folks to get off their 'environmental high-horses' and do what's best for our country's immediate needs and for our long-term security...

#4. I have listened to all of the arguments about 'blame-placing, is it the fault of the oil companies, speculators, OPEC, our Government, etc. I believe the one thing that can bring immediate relief to our country at the gas pumps, would be if we passed emergency legislation that forced speculators to put up 50% of the dollar amount they bid rather than working off lines of credit. The one exception I think we should make is for the airline & delivery (UPS, FEDEX, Airborne Express, etc.) industry only (unless there's another industry I'm overlooking that has to buy their fuel through this medium)...

Newt Gingrich said that if the President dumped a large amount of our strategic oil reserve on the market it would send the price of a barrel way below $100?? If so, it would be worth a try. We need to send a message to the middle eastern oil cartels that we will fight back any way we can...

If I have my info correct, it seems like these 4 ideas might bring some reasonably immediate short-term relief to the American consumer. In the long term, we need to get building more refineries, drill more in the continental US, start building many more Nuclear power plants and put much more $$$ into solar energy research. This will also create good jobs for our current legal 'American' workers...

Something nobody ever talks about because we seem to think we have more pressing issues, is how do we get rid of our nations refuse/garbage in the coming decades. This 'burying our trash' system we currently use will ultimately damage our fresh water reserves in my opinion. We can't continue to make "Mt. Trashmores" as far as the eye can see. Solar seems like the logical way to incinerate trash, etc. as there is no residual damage to the ozone due to fuel burn-off. I even heard a report the other day about a scientist that believes he can power automobiles by incinerating trash...

I can't thank you enough for being the leader that you are, and I thank you in advance for considering my letter...

Sincerely,

(Insert Your Name & Address Here)
