Republicans counting down to American energy independence

Posted by Staff on September 17, 2008 |

“This is America, we know how to do this job ourselves,” said former Congressman Bob Schaffer today at a Republican energy independence rally, counting down the days to Americas energy independence. All agreed that Congress’ legislation last night was a mistake and will only bring America further away from being energy independent. The Republicans agreed on this issue is being created by Congress through energy limitation bills.

According to the Republican America should stop seeking foreign sources of energy and instead use natural resources on American grounds, saying Americans should use more of their own fuels. They also said that even if the Democrats agrees on drilling on American soil it’s still not on the 85% where American reserves are located. “We’re giving jobs to Saudi Arabians and Russians and Venezuelans, and those ought to be here,” said Sen. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.)
