I sent an email to our elected officials from the state of Idaho. Didn’t even get the courtesy of a response.....
Geez...remind me not to write this motor mouth.
In short, she’s saying “Investigate, apply Windfall Taxes, but DON’T DRILL”
Hey, you forgot about my favorite measure...suing OPEC.

After I read this, I knew the rest of the letter was going to be pure BS. I wasn't disappointed.
To Senator Maria Cantwell: Shut up and listen!
LOL! Yes, Suing OPEC for selling us oil. Always a winning case.
I contacted her office several weeks ago about Nancy Pelosi saying our military had nothing to do with the success in the last year in Iraq. I recieved a canned email regarding the Dems stance on Iraq over two weeks later that addressed not one thing I asked.
In WA we are saddled with two of the least intelligent senators in DC but Cantwell still has some dumbing down to do to reach Murray’s level.
I get the same garbage from Feinstein’s flunkies. They don’t read the body of the message, only the subject line. Everything is sent out as if the writers actually agree with the senator’s actions and really wants the trash that’s being pushed.
More of the imperial mindset from the gang of 100 Princes.
Ok now I ain’t sayin’ that I understand the whole “speculators thing” but rather than being the toxic gas....aren’t they more like the canary in the mine?
Will Rogers had it right. He said there should be Open Season on Congresscritter’s once a year.

It's a good synopsis of the 'Rat policies, and the contrast between 'Rats and 'Pubs. 'Pubs tend to look for ways to solve the problem, while 'Rats look for someone to blame and punish.
I cannot fathom the mental gymnastics required for somebody to believe that adding a tax on gas will make it cheaper.
Really... how can somebody say that with a straight face?
So when shall we expect to see you in jail, Maria?
You state that Washington refines twice the fuel it needs, but have consistently blocked the expansion of refineries and the lengthening of docks so that we cannot accept larger tankers. You mindset was that "we don't need more oil tankers in our waters". Yes we do.
As the the "portal" state to Alaska, we should be greatly increasing our capacity, not taking measures to block it. We only have roughly 6 million people in this state. Refining for twice that many isn't much.
The state has often used the fictional calculation that "since the population has grown it is using more gas, but the state isn't receiving more taxes" to raise our taxes even further, and as a result we are one of the top taxed states in the country:

In fact, our gas taxes just went up another 1.5 cents 2 days ago: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/News/2008/06/30_last-2005-gas-tax-phase.htm
That's a 14.5 cent increase since 2005. The oil companies make what, 10-12 cents?
We know who the crooks are Maria, and are looking forward to seeing this roundup of price manipulators begin with you.
Big Coffee is headquartered in Seattle Washington.
They charge 4 dollars for a cup of coffee now. That adds up to about 50 dollars per gallon for coffee. 10 times the amount that we pay for gasoline, and gasoline is much harder to produce.
Coffee bean speculators need to testify before congress, and heads need to roll. We need to nationalize “Big Coffee”.
