It’s been a while since I wrote and it is time I said what is on my mind about Gasoline Prices. 

They are too high, it’s time our government did something to help Americans.

From what I understand, there is oil in Enola PA. Enough oil to get Saudi Arabia’s attention and get them to start producing oil. (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

Gasoline is at $399.00 per gallon in Altoona PA! Other places it is over $4.00. We were away over the weekend and in Grantham PA it was $4.07 per gallon.

Our country can’t go on with our daily business with gas prices this high. The economy is going to suffer for sure. (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

Hey while I am thinking about it, remember September 11, 2001? The single worst act of terrorism on American soil. EVER! Terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center and tried to destroy the Pentagon! (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU CALL $4.07 PER GALLON OF GAS!!!!!!!? The second worst act of terrorism on American soil! (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

Can anyone tell me why we can’t use our own oil to make our gas? What the heck happened to that Alaskan Pipeline? When I was growing up that is all we ever heard about. I thought we were going to get oil from Alaska and we were going to make gasoline with it and be ok! (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

We have to get our oil from Saudi Arabia? Don’t they HATE US!? (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

I don’t know, I drive just as much as I always did, I should cut down on small trips, but then I would have to drink my own coffee instead of driving five minutes to Starbucks and getting it. I would also have to miss out on my conversations with my brother who I meet at Starbucks. Well, he could come over to my place, but then it might not be as good since we won’t be out in public where we might run into someone else we know. (This is just one example!)

In other words, my life would be less because of the price of gas, my fear of running out of gas would hinder my existance and I would be forced to live my life counter to the way I want to live it.  Isn’t that what terrorists want us to do, live in fear? (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

We need to make the oil producing countries think we are going to use our own oil. We need to make them think we are going to drill our own oil and refine our own oil. We need to do it today.

Just start drilling, the heck with a couple of migratory birds that may or may not die because we drill for oil. It would be a shame if one animal had to die because we were drilling for oil. But the way the roads are littered with dead animals just from us swerving to hit them I don’t think anyone would notice another one or two! (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

Environmentalists SHUT UP! The environment is screwed! Not because we might drill for oil but because use oil all over the planet! One oil tanker disaster would do more damage than a properly controled oil company drilling for oil! (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

When the big oil producing countries realize we are drilling our own oil they will start producing it by barrels full and the price will go way down. What are we waiting for? (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

And America needs to cut down on driving. Make one trip do more, use public transportation.

Oh yeah, one more thing. FLOOD YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS WITH MAIL!!! The old fashioned kind that requires a stamp. Use a pen, write it with your hand, lick the stamp, (OK you can use the self stick ones, you can’t buy any other kind!) Seal the envelope and WALK to the mailbox!

Send a lot of letters, saying that you are not going to vote for them if the price of gas stays high! Use the power of the Constitution, that says we have a voice! (If anyone reading this has better info please reply to my blog and straighten me out!)

I’ve had enough! Have you?

I hope to hear some response to this blog! I can take it if I am wrong!
