[Mr. Binnacle]

Please notify your Congressional representatives and ask them to pass the 2009 Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills.

Our Troops deserve our fullest support and should not left hanging because politicians are playing games in Washington.

I sincerely hope NOTHING is passed if they stick in the Offshore Drilling Prohibition. Shut the Government down by not passing any Continuing Resolution BEFORE accepting an Offshore Drilling amendment. Offshore Drilling Prohibition expires with this Congress and that is exactly what Americans want - Dems will insist that any 2009 appropriations bill will include a NEW Offshore Prohibition. Watch for a fraudulent bill the Piglosi is going to bring up tomorrow that will 'claim to allow offshore drilling' - it is a fraud. Starts at 50 miles out and only in very specific areas.
