Time to send an energetic message

I have a proposal that would increase good paying jobs (that's what the politicians keep calling for) and to be less dependent on foreign oil.

First, the Washington politicians like Sen. Dick Durbin have to get their heads out of the sand with regards to our energy crisis. We need to build more refineries, drill for oil (in Alaska, off our sea coasts and from shale on government land.) More nuclear power plants would also give less costly and cleaner energy.

It's time to send Sen. Durbin and the other Washington politicians blocking these initiatives a strong message. Let's take back our country. If they don't support these energy proposals they won't get our vote or our money!
