To the editor,
The number one economic threat to our nation and our well-being is the price of a gallon of gas. We as individuals and our nation are at risk.
We have watched the price of gas sharply increase and to this day our Congress has done nothing or even indicated they have a plan.
The quickest and most helpful thing Congress can do to reduce the price of gas right now is to lift the moratorium on drilling for oil in the U.S. and offshore. Drilling offshore can be done safely now! Other nations are doing it now! Drilling is one part of the necessary equation.
This inaction by Congress is totally irresponsible and political and we are the ones paying a heavy price. We can no longer remain silent and contain our anger!
It’s time we (you and I) start taking action. Speak out and demonstrate your anger.
The sooner we get started, the quicker we will see results.
