"Your Wallet: The Only Place Democrats Want to Drill"
The Tennessee Republican Party has released a new bumper sticker designed to help motorists express their disapproval of the Democrat Party’s refusal to approve increased drilling for oil in our own country in order to combat high gas prices and our dangerous dependence on imported oil.
The TRP releases the bumper sticker, and reiterates its endorsement of the grassroots Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less campaign, at the same time that Democrat leaders such as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are blocking all attempts by Republican lawmakers to force a vote on legislation to expand domestic oil drilling.
The polls are unequivocal - the American people are ready for an energy policy that encourages more domestic oil production in addition to focusing on conservation, energy efficiency and developing alternative energy technologies, yet Democrats refuse. And while it is the Washington Democrats who are refusing to vote to allow expanded oil drilling, Tennessee Democrat leaders like Tennessee Democrat Party Chairman Gray Sasser, Democrat Gov. Phil Bredesen and a host of elected Democrats across the state have endorsed the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, who also opposes increased oil drilling.
"A few weeks ago, I and the Tennessee Republican Party echoed the sentiments of millions of Tennesseans by joining the chorus of 'Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less'," said Robin Smith, Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. "In sharp contrast, Tennessee Democrats have remained stone silent about moving their members of Congress to act to allow more domestic oil production."
The TN GOP’s bumper sticker’s message, in white text against in oil-black background, reads: "Your Wallet: The Only Place Democrats Want to Drill," highlighting both the Democrats' refusal to support increased oil drilling and their innate desire to continually raise your taxes. Recent reports out of Washington indicate the Democrat leadership is considering increasing the federal gas tax.
The Tennessee GOP will mail one Your Wallet bumper sticker to anyone making a donation of $5 or three stickers for a donation of $10 to the state party via the party’s special bumper sticker donations web page, www.tngop.org/drill, or by mail. Donations via check should be sent to the Tennessee Republican Party, 2424 21st Avenue, Suite 200, Nashville, TN, 37212. Put "bumper stickers" on the memo line. For bulk orders, contact the state party at 615-269-4260.
