Dear Speaker Pelosi:
Today, in New York 26th Congressional District taxpayers are paying on average $4.13 for a gallon of gas. Western New Yorkers need help - with gas prices severely impacting family budgets many Western New Yorkers are unable to afford to go on vacation while Congress is enjoying a five-week vacation.
My fellow Western New Yorkers and I respectfully request that you bring Congress back to Washington and get to work for the American people. Congress needs to stop the bickering and work on a bipartisan solution to end our addiction to foreign oil by removing the ban on exploring for oil in the United States.
We need a comprehensive energy policy to solve this crisis. That starts with lessening our dependence on foreign oil, encouraging conservation and developing alternative energies. We need American solutions for American energy that will create American jobs.
I look forward to working with you on behalf of Western New York families in Congress. We appreciate your time and consideration. |
