Tell Congress No Vacation Until They Lift The Ban On Offshore Drilling


Here is something I got in an email yesterday.

From the Desk of:

Steve Elliott, Grassfire.org Alliance

Congress is about to go on a four-week vacation without taking action on rising gas prices. Please see below.

--Steve

To Whom It May Concern,

Gas prices continue to soar yet Congress does nothing!
Just the other day President Bush issued an executive order toexpand offshore drilling but this do-nothing Congress hasn'ttaken action to lift the legislative ban that prohibits more drilling.

I believe the first vital step to energy independence is forCongress to get out of the way and allow more domesticdrilling! We must show OPEC we mean business!

That's why Grassfire just launched an Emergency Petition calling onCongress to lift the ban on offshore drilling. What's more, our petitiondemands that they lift the ban BEFORE they break for their month-longsummer recess.

If you agree that Congress should NOT go on an extendedvacation (over four weeks!) UNTIL they lift the ban onoffshore drilling, please go here to sign:


It is outrageous that as gas prices have soared for months, Congresshas done nothing. Unlike Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid andthe big government liberals, we don't want our government to solveour problems -- we just want the government to get out of the way!

And right now, Congress is the last blockade stopping more offshoredrilling.

This is absolutely urgent. Again, your Senators and Representativewill soon be leaving D.C. for a long, summer recess.We must band together and demand action...

LIFT THE BAN OR NO VACATION FOR CONGRESS!


And thanks.
