Send me your gas receipts!

Dear Friend,

I don't need to tell you that gas prices are high, but there is someone I do need to tell...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

...and I need your help to do it.

Please mail me your gas receipts and a short note about what your family has had to sacrifice because of out-of-control prices at the pump. I'll bundle together all the receipts and stories I receive and send them to Senator Reid. Together, we will send a message to Washington and show Harry Reid that high gas prices are hurting Oklahomans.

Please mail your gas receipts by August 21 to:

Jim Inhofe PO Box 13300 Oklahoma City, OK 73113

Harry Reid won't even allow debate on a single solution I've proposed with my colleagues. And now Congress is on a five week recess! I don't think he understands just how serious this is, but together we can show him.

In recent weeks, I have worked with other Congressional Republicans to bring down gas prices by expanding exploration of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), opening ANWR, developing America's oil shales, and expanding refining capacity.

Last month, I introduced the American Affordable Fuels Act of 2008 that includes these measures as well as the Drive America on Natural Gas Act, which would promote the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) vehicles.

And just last week, I teamed up with Representative Dan Boren to introduce the Marginal Well Production Preservation and Enhancement Act, which ensures the nation's policies recognize and reflect the economic importance of marginal well production.

But none of these ideas are even being considered because the Democrat Senate leadership is standing in the way. Let's send them a message by sending in our gas receipts.

So, please, mail your gas receipts by August 21 to me at:

Jim Inhofe PO Box 13300 Oklahoma City, OK 73113

Thank you,

Jim Inhofe

I like Jim Inhofe and am proud I was able to vote for him before coming to California and inheriting these two useless moron's Boxer and Feinstein.

If he wants gas receipts then I shall try to help him out.

High time Inhofe and Coburn are taking Hairy and Nancy by the cajoles and doing something.

I have taken out a blank envelop and written Jim's name and address and will keep it until August 21, when it will be mailed.

It's time to replace a bunch of stoopid misguided Dim Representatives not add to their number.

This Gas crisis is just the thing to rev up just how out of touch the Dims are with Americas future.

I am about to take a necessary personal trip to Chicago from the Kansas City area.

I think I can save the receipts and then let him know, "There goes a pair of steel toed boots for work."

Hairy and Nancy

Those two leftist peacocks are clueless about the cost of gas. If you said it cost you $100 to fill up your tank they would say and?????? Unless you buy an electric car and drive 40 miles an hour they’re not interested in your plith.

Dear Jim,

In January of 2000,the price of gas was $1.27.In August of 2006,gas prices were at $3.03,under a Republican led Congress.Why weren't you asking for receipts at that time,when gas prices were up over 100% under Republican "leadership"?Must be election year.

We even have to cry for freedom even in our own country.

Send me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. .

Comment:

Thats a real positive spirit your showing.

By January of 2007 that price had come back down to 2.08 per gallon and lower in some other places.

I also believe that Republicans have made several attempts over the last 30 years to enact laws allowing more drilling, alternatives and new refineries but have been blocked repeatedly by Democrats.

We here on FR have beached and complained for some time the Republicans needed to do something and when they do, all we some can do is point out negatives.

Good point Okie.

The point is that in six years, five of them at war, three of them at double war, only a $1 incrase. Six years, $1...to $2 and change. Who wouldn’t want to pay that now?

In 18 months of the Drill Nothing Congress, the price of gas doubled, and the price of oil damn near tripled.

Let's see...

2 cups refried beans
1/2 lb ground beef, browned
1 packet taco seasoning
12 flour tortillas

Oh, gas receipts, not gas recipes! My bad!
