Evidently Pelosi doesn't value American thoughts....we can't reach her. Since it's after hours, there is no way to leave a phone message (I tried)....since most of us aren't in her SF district, again no way to have anyone read our message. Even the American Voices listed there is and has been out of order since at least Feb 08 (see info on google.) If you see her, or any of her idiotic cohorts, please tell her that a) The Oil companies have already paid Billions of dollars for the "privilege" of even looking for oil. b) The Dem Congress has held the oil companies off from even thinking of doing that by eliminating that option.... c) Since the BILLIONS paid for the "Land Lease" were required, and more BILLIONS are necessary to even look for oil, ask her why they should look, and look, and look, spending more BILLIONS of dollars and all the regulations to go through....BEFORE they ever find oil, and are allowed to drill.... What an enormously shortsighted pipsqueak of a person to even have associated with our Congress...let alone the Speaker of the House. Hope the Republicans capitalize with ads showing the citizens of this country, just how much the Left cares about them.... NADA, NADA, NADA....... Monday, July 14, 2008 Contact:Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami, 202-226-7616 Washington, D.C. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush's announcement lifting the executive ban on drilling in protected coastal areas: “Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil. "The Bush plan is a hoax. It will neither reduce gas prices nor increase energy independence. It just gives millions more acres to the same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas. "If the President wants to bring down prices in the next two weeks, not the next two decades, he should free our oil by releasing a small portion of the more than 700 million barrels of oil we have put in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. "It's time to tell the oil industry: 'You already have millions of acres to drill. Use it or lose it.'"

Nancy Pelosi is either a fool or evil. I vote for evil. I consider evil one who knows better but for personal gain does not do what is right. One cannot reach her position and be stupid. One reaches her position by pandering. The Dems are all about winning at an cost. The coalition must be pandered to. Ask yourself, if something was good for the country and bad for their election - which would they chose? If Obama wins the looney left will have to govern. How long will they be able to blame Bush for the ruin they have caused.
