Okay, everybody I need your help. I am going to formally write an online petition regarding gas prices and developing alternative fuels, and I plan to email and follow up by calling up key Democratic leaders, but in order to do so I need your help on a couple things.
I can do a good sum of considerable research, but I would like to make the facts appear as objective as possible regarding gas prices from the 13 colonies across America to the West Coast. Gas is in between $3.50 - $4.00 around where I live, but I don't know where or not that is the average price for Ohio or not. How much does gas cost where you live?
Also, I would like to hear how rising gas prices have affected your daily lives. For me, growing up with rising gas prices prevented me from learning how to drive because I didn't want to pay for gas or pollute the environment any longer. Also, because of gas being $4.00, I have been socializing less, and I need to socialize as every human being needs to do for the sake of our health. That is just one example. How has rising gas prices impacted your daily lives?
Also, another plan I have on research on my part is to investigate the state of alternative fuel development in this country compared to other countries where alternative fuels are prominent in the country's bloodline. But, any objective facts given to me as well as their sources( same thing goes for gas prices regarding sources) would be greatly appreciated.
One more thing, I plan on contacting and communicating with a few members of Congress that I know can help, but again, any suggestions you can give me to help us in the long run would be greatly appreciated.
The goal I have in mind is to actually get something done regarding lowering gas prices and strongly developing alternative fuels. I am very well aware that the oil companies will try to provide roadblocks for this effort to happen strongly and successfully. But, it will be worth the effort if enough people sign on and sign the eventual petition.
I know that gas companies as slick as an oil spill run off on a seal when it comes to any progress in the area of developing alternative fuel so they could keep us oil-addicted dependents. Well, the gas prices are too high and we as citizens of this great country can no longer take it anymore, but, WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, it's the American way.
I also know that Bush thinks we can lower gas prices by un-banning offshore oil drilling. Anyone with a brain can see that that will make matters worse since we have a heavy export market regarding oil from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other areas of the Middle East, gas can only increase because the more oil, the more price influx. Our offshore oil drilling will only make the Middle East providers more competitive in their efforts. And we all know Bush would rather give in to the oil companies than give in to his own constituency, so that's another failed plan to go on the Bush legacy list.
All in all, I would really appreciate your help on the matter because I think if we get enough people, we can lower gas prices and begin our strong development of alternative fuels.
