Bush and the Neocons seem determined to drill for oil in places where the rest of the world doesn't want them to. Places like Alaskan wildlife refuges and offshore sites that teem with aquatic life or where scientists and conservationists are trying to reestablish species threatened with extinction.

Bush is trying to blame Congress for the rising fuel prices. What a joke! If the republicans hadn't sat on their hands while Bush extended his vacation the Gulf Coast might not have been so slow in recovering. The oil companies might not have been able to use Hurricane Katrina for an excuse as long as they have, jacking oil prices up to the highest prices in history.

In spite of the record profits Big Oil is enjoying they are claiming that the prices are being driven higher by speculators. Commodities speculators account for a mere two to three percent of the oil futures prices. The oil companies and the foreign producers they love so much are in control of the pricing.

Act up, America! Call and/or write your congressional representatives and senators. Tell them not to knuckle under to Bush and his nonsense tactics! Let them know you are mad as Hell and won't take it any more!
