DEAR SENATOR/REPRESENTATIVE X;

IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY IN CONGRESS ARE OPPOSED TO MOST ALTERNATIVE DOMESTIC OIL SUPPLIES, EVEN AFTER KNOWING THAT THE U.S. IS AT THE MERCY OF FOREIGN OIL PRODUCERS.

ALASKA REFUGE OIL HAS A MICROSCOPIC FOOTPRINT, YET IS NOW OPPOSED BY EVEN REPUBLICANS. DO ENVIROMENTALISTS HAVE THAT MUCH LOBBY POWER THAT THEY CAN TAKE OVER THE SOULS OF OTHERWISE SENSIBLE OFFICIALS, CONVINCING THEM THAT WE, OIL STARVED AMERICANS, SHOULD REPEL ALL CONSIDERATION TO EXPLORE MORE DOMESTIC WAYS OF OBTAINING HEATING OIL, ETC.?

A NORMAL CITIZEN WOULD THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME SORT OF DEVIOUS PLOT IN ORDER TO ECONOMICALLY WEAKEN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH THESE SORT OF TACTICS.

WHAT OTHER MOTIVATION WOULD THEY HAVE? PS THERE IS A VAST RESERVE OF NATURAL GAS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN SECTION OF OHIO. MAY WE DRILL FOR IT?
