"Now it is a crisis for every American family," the Michigan senator said in the Democrats' weekly radio address. She called the current energy situation "a crisis that doesn't just affect us at the pump, but also raises the prices of groceries, increases our home heating bills and squeezes small businesses trying to keep their heads above water."

"Republicans want more drilling, more consumption and more tax giveaways for the big oil companies," she said. "Democrats say that those are exactly the policies that got us into this mess to begin with."

"This fight won't be easy," Stabenow said, urging the public to pressure the GOP. "The President and his oil buddies have gotten used to the spoils of plunder, and they won't give up without a fight."



Nice --- !!

especially connecting Bushco to oil interests -

Would also be nicer to talk about nationalizing our natural resources/oil ---

and getting ELECTRIC CARS on our highways ---

Global Warming makes both of those things essential --- and matters of immediate need!!!
