who understand how the oil conglomerates are ripping us off, to get out front of this issue and begin
raising hell. They should be forced in front of Congress every time an extreme price increase hits the
pump..Start with the Senate and make the fucking repubs. in the house look stupid for not doing the
same. Scare these shits with terms like Nationalization and threaten them with huge fines. Just send the message that were not lying down any more.. and that they better watch their asses.....

And get the Blue Dogs out of office, one election at a time..... They are becoming the new Republicans
