It's going to raise the price of aviation fuel for an already ailing airline industry. It's going to raise the price of heating oil.

If you're sick and tired of giving away $2 of every gallon of gas to foreign dictators, making other oil-producing countries, cartels and tycoons rich beyond their imagination, and watching the federal government bow to international powers –all of whom are sucking the very life out of the American people, I implore you to sign and pass along the petition, "Drill here, drill now, pay less" at Newt Gingrich's American Solutions website.

Did I mention that the Iraq oil minister just reported that oil production is earnings for Iraq of $28.5 billion in just the first five months of this year? We'll likely soon be dependent and in debt to yet another Middle Eastern oil-producing country that we've helped stabilize and become wealthy while ours is going straight down the tubes.

Congratulations Congress – you're completely failing us.

It's the career bums in Congress that are doing this to us. We should demand term limits so that leeches like Kennedy, and Reid will get kicked out of their cushy offices and for the first time in their miserable lives have to work for a living. The best congress this country ever had was the continental congress when they were all "freshmen" and all on fire with patriotism and desire to help and build the country. It's been all downhill since then.

It's the career bums in Congress that are doing this to us.

I could be way off base, but my understanding of the "term limits" legislation is that it would have to originate within each of the individual states legislatures' bodies.

Maybe the oil drilling issue could the ideal impetus to get
the ball rolling???
