Tell Congress: No vacation until drilling ban lifted

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

Carolyn,

Gas prices continue to soar yet Congress does nothing!

Just the other day President Bush issued an executive order to
expand offshore drilling but this do-nothing Congress hasn’t
taken action to lift the legislative ban that prohibits more drilling.

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

That’s why Grassfire just launched an Emergency Petition calling on
Congress to lift the ban on offshore drilling. What’s more, our petition
demands that they lift the ban BEFORE they break for their month-long
summer recess.

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

It is outrageous that as gas prices have soared for months, Congress
has done nothing. Unlike Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and
the big government liberals, we don’t want our government to solve
our problems — we just want the government to get out of the way!

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

This is absolutely urgent. Again, your Senators and Representative
will 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!

    How can you even think of going on vacation, when we have a major problem facing us in energy cost? We pay tou just like our companies pay us. We could never take a monmth off with out taking care of our customers, so what makes you think you are any different? You took time to vote your self a vaction, now take time to vote to lift the band on drilling for oil in the coastal waters, ANWAR, & the shale of the Rocky MT’s
