WHY DON'T WE GET AT SOME OF OUR OWN OIL WEALTH!?!?

THERE IS ONE THING AND ONLY ONE THING PREVENTING THE USA FROM BECOMING MORE ENERGY INDEPENDENT: THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.


HERE'S A MAP - VIA POWER LINE - OF THE AREAS OFF THE COASTS OF THE USA WHICH ALLOW DRILLING, AND THOSE WHICH DON'T:

  • I ASK YOU TO NOTE THAT A GREAT DEAL OF THE LOCAL WEALTH OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COMES FROM THEIR OFF-SHORE DRILLING.
  • IT CREATES LOTS OF BLUE COLLAR AND WORKING-CLASS JOBS.
  • AND LOCAL WEALTH.
  • THE CITIZENS OF THE STATES WHICH DON'T PRESENTLY ALLOW DRILLING WOULD ALL BECOME WEALTHIER AND THEIR JOB MARKETS WOULD ALL IMPROVE IF THEY ALLOWED DRILLING OFF SHORE.
  • AND - BY INCREASING SUPPLY - IT WOULD BRING THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL AND GASOLINE AND HEATING OIL DOWN. FOR EVERYONE.
  • THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE.
  • NONE.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE A FEW OF THE BUILDINGS GOING UP IN DUBAI (SEE ABOVE) GOING UP IN THE USA INSTEAD!?

USE THIS LINK AND THEN TELL YOUR CONGRESSMAN TO GET ON THE BALL.
