High Fuel Costs

Senator Martinez, Senator Nelson, Congressman Weldon

Like many of my friends I want reasonably priced fuel, be it gas, diesel or heating oil.

One of our major problems is this counties inability to refine crude oil to create the amount of fuel used in this country.

I believe that it is the job of our senators and congressmen to ensure that new refineries are created that are as modern as possible.

I believe that it is your job to ensure that those seeking oil must do it it with safeguards to protect the environment.

I do not believe that it is your job to play NIMBY (not in my back yard) to the detriment of this countries ability to obtain needed fuel.

No one wants oil stuff on their beaches, yet we all drive vehicles on the road.

The federal government has aided truckers for so long we basically have no trains or ships to move mass cargos.

I want cheaper fuel, my friends want cheaper fuel, we do not care where the oil wells are drilled...they will be in sombody's back yard.

Your job is to ensure when the oil wells are drilled and the refineries are built that they are as environmentally friendly as possible for that type of heavy industry.
