It is no wonder that the CONgressional approval ratings are so low

(9%) . In the latest debacle, some in CONgress are considering increasing taxes on gasoline. Instead of developing the oil reserves in existence, they want to punish the tax payer further. While considering the tax increase, Nancy Peolosi and her California bunch are stuanchly opposed to offshore drilling. Son instead of only inconvenincing people in California, they make the whole nation increase the burdens. She and her democratic co-conspirators have blocked attempts at opening drilling in ANWR (Alaska National Wildlife Refuge) as well. Instead of allowing drilling, her answer is to push the regime to open the Strategic Petroleaum Reserves. She considers ANWR a hoax and claims it would do little to help. This is the same CONgress where Maxine Watters (from California-no surprise there)  has suggested nationalizing (stealing) the oil companies.

The actions of a Pelosi-led CONgress needs to be remembered when Novemeber rolls around. The hired help is making some bad choices.

The answer is NOT making government bigger through nationalising the oil industry. The answer is not tapping into the strategic oil reserves (that is only for symptom relief).

We need a dollar that is backed by substance. That would stabilize the economy and oil prices, along with preventing CONgress from printing it whenever they want to .We need to allow the free market to determine oil, we need to develop our resources rather than bailing out the rest of the world. We need States that can stand up to the Federal juggernaut and say NO.

Free Texas!
