Mr. Speaker,
“I quote, Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices, end quote, said Mrs. Pelosi in press release on year ago today.
The price at the pump then was $2.91 a gallon. That was actually very good news compared to the near $4 a gallon Americans are paying today.
Also, two years ago Mrs. Pelosi vowed, if her party took over Congress, they would cut energy prices and they said especially gasoline.
It is obvious there is a fast growing need for energy in our country and this need must be met with a solution.
To provide a reduction in gas prices for Americans, we need to find resources here at home to support domestic energy production.
Our country needs to research and fund alternative energy production to become less dependent of foreign sources for the security of our country and to ease the burdening gas prices for American families.
American families were promised a commonsense plan by the Democrat majority. If there is a commonsense plan, if there is one, isn’t now the time to see it?”
Gresham, I agree Dem’s haven’t got a plan or a clue but a Republican President has referenced making a plan – and refused to do so – in all but one state of the Union address since taking office in 2001…has it come out and I didn’t hear about it? Obviously throwing stones is some part of this Congressman’s energy plan, but I doubt it will work with his none to energy efficient glass house.
