Urgent Call to Action

Thank you for your desire to participate, but the URGENT ACTION ALERT - Fuel Bill in Senate & House of Representatives has expired!

Although this Action Alert will not be sent to the specified receipients, the "Remember Me" and "I would like to receive regular updates.." checkboxes are active.

When you pay $4.00 per gallon at the pump, where does the money go?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it goes as follows:

18 cents to the federal government

22 cents to the state government (varies by state)

28 cents to distributors and marketers

36 cents to refiners

$2.96 to producers

The majority of our oil is purchased from producers in foreign countries, many of whom promote terrorism targeting the West. Each year, well over half a trillion U.S. dollars are spent on oil imported from OPEC and non-OPEC nations. Would it not be better if all that money remained in the United States?

Both the Senate and the House have initiated legislation that can help to solve this economically devastating problem by dramatically lowering fuel consumption. Identical bills have been introduced in both branches of Congress: S. 3303 and H.R. 6559.

S. 3303 is sponsored by the following Senators: Sam Brownback (R-KS), Susan Collins (R-ME), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Ken Salazar (D-CO), and John Thune (R-SD).

H.R. 6559 is sponsored by the following representative: Roscoe Bartlett (R-6th MD), John Barrow (D-12th GA), Sanford Bishop (D-2nd GA), Stephen Cohen (D-9th TN), Eliot Engel (D-17th NY), Bob Inglis (R-4th SC), Steve Israel (D-2nd NY), Jack Kingston (R-1st GA), Randy Kuhl (R-29th NY), Nita Lowey (D-18th NY), Donald Manzullo (R-16th IL), and Robert Wexler (D-19th FL).

Both bills are currently in Committee. It is urgently important that our congressional leaders hear from us telling them that we want the US to become fuel-independent for many reasons. As American consumers who have our standard of living at stake, we must ask both our Senators and Representatives to co-sponsor these bills, if they have not already agreed to do so.

Both bills would require new automobiles to be flex-fuel equipped, warranted to operate on gasoline, ethanol, methanol and biodiesel. The alternative fuels can be made from a variety of sources, including switchgrass and other energy crops, coal, agricultural bi-products, corn, soybeans, natural gas and other materials. Making a flex-fuel vehicle would cost the manufacturer about one hundred dollars per vehicle.

The bills spell out 15 critical reasons why this legislation must be enacted. CLICK HERE to read all 15 critical reasons.

Message:
Dear Representative/Senator, I urge you to sign on as a co-sponsor of the fuel-flex legislation S.3303 in the Senate (or H.R. 6559 in the House) that would reduce US oil usage and cost, making the US more oil independent. I concur with the 15 reasons stipulated in the bill itself, which provide valid substantiating arguments that prove the need for and results of enacting this bill. It will help Americans by reducing both quantity and price of imported oil. This strategy is not only practical, but mandatory, since the technology is readily available at a very minimal cost. In addition, it will accelerate further development of renewable fuel technologies to enhance and ensure our future. This legislation will provide congressional leadership that the public has been long awaiting. We are depending on you to lead the way in this bipartisan effort to set America free from the grip of fuel dependence. Respectfully, Name City, State, Zip
