Oil Independence Day 2006

High gas prices have created a new group of people - "pump
grumblers."
When pumping our high priced gas, we grumble words of resentment, while
feeling powerless. We need gas, so we pay the price. Standing as a
individual we are powerless, but together our voices would be heard.

America is a strong, independent country.
When John Kennedy proposed we put a man on the moon, a goal and time
line was set. American determination made it happen. Let's apply the
same initiative to independence of oil through alternative energy
research and use. We already have brilliant minds who are making great
strides towards this goal.

Demand that the President stand up for us.
Ask him to support Alternative energy to free us from oil dependence,
starting today. Millions of letters cannot be ignored.
Write a paper letter before July 4 to the President. Urge friends and
family to do the same.

President Bush
The White House

Washington, DC 20500

If there are so many great minds in America who can tackle the energy
problem, then what's the point of anybody having to write a single
letter to the president, let alone a lot of them? Also, what does
landing a man on the moon have to do with solving the energy crisis?
We had a challenge to land a man on the moon - we did, and after
several successful landings, we stopped going and failed to establish a
lasting presence on the moon or anywhere in space. If JFK had intended
nothing more in mind then a few landings otherwise not to be followed
up, then Apollo was a shortlived if glorious experiemnt with nothing to
follow-up with, and an ominous indicator of our nation's ability to
solve real problems of any nature; if Apollo had longer-term goals,
then they have yet to be met, the achievements of the actual missions
notwithstanding - much like all the talk about energy conservation of
the 1970's. If there is a sufficient solution, then you should
actually try to suggest we go in that direction - all you resort to is
sentimentality, which never solves anything.
