LIGHTS ON FOR DRILLING NOW!!!
8/1/2008 | HKMk23

Posted on 08/01/2008 1:59:18 PM PDT by HKMk23

Whereas, some stalwart Republicans stand fast on the floor in The House of Representatives, refusing to call it a day with "The People's Business" yet left undone,

Whereas, Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat cohorts have voted to abandon the needs of the American People in favor of coddling their own personal desires,

Whereas, we are a Nation facing an intensifying energy crisis,

Whereas, it is the sworn duty of our elected Congressional Representatives and Senators to pass the legislations required to facilitat alleviation of the causes of this growing crisis,

Whereas, it is the expressed will of the majority of the people of these United States of American that Congress pave the way for our oil industry sector to DRILL HERE, and DRILL NOW,

Whereas, Congressional Democrats have not only turned a deaf ear to the public voice on this matter, but have, essentially, raised both stiff middle fingers to flip all Americans the "Double Eagle",

Therefore, I hereby call upon all true American patriots to drive at all times with headlights illuminated until such time as Congress shall enact an energy policy enabling an increase in domestic oil exploration, drilling, and refining that is commensurate with our national needs

I furthermore call upon my fellow citizens to, by any available means, prominently display upon their vehicles the simple slogan:

LIGHTS ON FOR DRILLING NOW!!

WE, The People, MUST not concede to be ignored by the bloated Democrat egos presently controlling Congress. We cannot sit idly and allow our national needs to be trumped by tone-deaf, egotistical, partisan political hacks.

I'll see you on the road.

As a matter of fact, it may be unconstitutional to arrest them on the floor of the House, no matter what they say, or how long they stay there.

If I lived in D.C. you can bet I’d roll right down to support these guys!....instead, a flood of e-mail will have to suffice. I hope they see the support they get here on Free Republic!

Called CSPAN’s main number, girl said “It’s not our cameras”. She didn’t sound happy.

Just called and a polite young lady said the reason there is re-runs from yesterday on CSPAN2 on right now. She said it is because there is no feed from the Capital. I asked why there is no feed and she said that because who ever is in charge is not providing the feed.

I also called Sen Baucus's office and he is out of town!

...most cars today,as far as I can see,have daytime running lights so it might not be very effective.

The DRL's might not grab anyone's attention, but the all-caps message on the rear window sure will.

Still, you raise a good point: if you're going to flip on your lights to show your support for drilling now, it'd be kinda lame to do that unless you also have the message in the window (on the back bumper, on the trailer doors, wherever) telling otehr drivers WHY your lights are on.

Now, I'd love to stay and chat this up some more, but I've a wedding to attend in 3 hours, work to finish here, and I still have to swing by Wal-Mart for a fresh bottle of white shoe polish. ;-)

70% of the public will still want to drill

Funny how when the shoe is on the other foot, the democrats are not listening to the will of the people.

It's not too long ago, and I believe they're still doing it, that the democrats were asking the president to listen to the will of the people and pull out of Iraq. And the number of people that the democrats were quoting was a slim majority. Now that the overwhelming majority of the people want the U.S. to drill for its own oil, the democrats want to pretend that they're deaf, or they're coming up with excuses, such as, they're "trying to save the planet".

This is not a simple majority, Pelosi,, this is a huge majority of Americans.

If republicans play their cards right, they can take back the congress this November; the house and the senate.

I just tried to call the House office but had the wrong number. The number was to the private cell phone of a Democrat Congressman. I apologized for bothering him personally and told him why I was calling and he politely gave me the correct number. GO, GO, GO, WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
