It's a really good letter, but I suggest you remove the following portions.....maybe then it'll get printed. Or try to get them to let you do a special citizen editorial.
So, who is to blame for high gas prices? Those responsible for high gas prices are Democrat liberal politicians and those who continually elect them into office. Carol Browner worked for the Clinton Administration. Environmental watch groups support and promote liberal Democratic politicians. These politicians, along with those working and running the EPA, prevent oil companies from drilling within the United States or building more refineries to process the crude oil.
The only fault I lay at the feet of the oil companies is not exerting their financial muscle to create more refineries and to drill within the United States. Do you want cheaper gas prices? Unfortunately, there is no short-term solution.
The information I briefly listed above is available to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear.
By constantly spewing forth the Democrat mantra of blaming the oil companies, The Calvert Independent becomes a lapdog vice a watchdog.
You are probably right. But considering in this issue of the paper was a letter complaining about Republicans, I am slightly hopeful - okay, delusional - that this will be printed. Thank you for you comment and I will rework this weekend.
