Title: Act QUICKLY and Pass along! Post by: Dihannah1 on July 22, 2008, 06:59:19 PM I've been a member here and signing many important petitions. This Grassroots non-profit group has accomplished alot in the past couple of years. Please take the time to read, sign and send to your contacts if you care!
___________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 Dihannah1, 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: http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=9251&RID=10672980 http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=9251&RID=10672980 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! Please sign here: http://www.grassfire.org/techemail.asp?ind=15&CID=108&RID=10672980 And thanks.

For those who have jobs, how many get 1 month vacation at one time? Even if we did, I doubt many of us have the position that holds the future of our country in there hands. This is a critical issue that affects EVERY american. Congress may be able to afford these gas prices, but I know I can't! They were elected to get the jobs done! I know, in my position, I am NOT allowed to take off during a critical project and when necessary, I work many hours over to get the job done. I don't get paid close to what they do! They need to act now! Title: Re: Act QUICKLY and Pass along! Post by: crazybabyborg on July 23, 2008, 01:18:29 AM Thanks, Tink, for bringing the petition to us! :thumleft:
