High gas prices have created a new group of people -
"pump grumblers."
When pumping our high priced gas, we grumble words of
resentment, while feeling powerless. We need gas, so
we pay the price. Standing as a individual we are
powerless, but together our voices would be heard.
America is a strong, independent country.
When John Kennedy proposed we put a man on the moon, a
goal and time line was set. American determination
made it happen. Let's apply the same initiative to
independence of oil through alternative energy
research and use. We already have brilliant minds who
are making great strides towards this goal.
Demand that the President stand up for us.
Ask him to support Alternative energy to free us from
oil dependence,
starting today. Millions of letters cannot be ignored.

Write a paper letter before July 4 to the President.
Urge friends and family to do the same.
President Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

More idiocy from those who have difficulty understanding how things REALLY
work.  Or who cant string more than 3 brain synapses together.

3 dollar gas is not grossly overpriced.. and there is no clear replacement
that can be produced for that amount.  

As to funding tech research... will it pass if it involves new nuclear
Plants?

I thought not....

There is no way this will help so don't waste your time.
There is something called "Supply and Demand" that is in action here.
We as Americans have had it very easy when it comes to gas prices compared
to the rest of the world and believe it or not, we STILL have it easier than
the rest of the world, (and no, I'm not some oil tycoon, I'm a working joe
just like everybody else).
When I was in Germany 3 years ago, they were paying the equivalent of $5.50
per gallon (or more).
In perspective, gas is cheaper now than it was in 1980, considering the
economy now and then.
When you grit your teeth at the pump next time, think about this, people
willingly pay $1.00 or more for 16 oz. of water!! And don't even complain
about it!!

Just be glad you can even get gas! It won't be that way forever....

Think yourselves lucky you don't live in England. Current prices for regular
unleaded are around $6.66 USD, direct litre to US gallon conversion.

Taxed? you don't know the half of it :(
