| Michael C. | San Jose, CA | November 13, 2008 | nuclear power has got a bad rap from the eco freaks. Nuclear power is safe other countries use it with much success. As far as power goes, The US government has made this country 10 to 15 years behind the rest. |

| Michael B. | Lincoln Park, MI | November 13, 2008 | Drill baby drill!! We need to compete with foreign suppliers of oil. We need to fill the market with more supply with oil from U.S land and water. This will keep energy prices lower for America's citizens. Drill baby drill! |
| Joy M. | Sparta, MI | November 13, 2008 | before the ban expired, gas was $4.20. Just letting the ban expire made OPEC realize what could happen. Gas dropped like a rocket once the ban expired. Now it's back to more affordable levels. Once Obama gets in he has vowed to reinstate the ban. Our gas will return to $4 or more a gallon. (he has also vowed to put coal industry out of business, which supplies 49% of our power here in the US) tell him NO... DO NOT reinstate this ban and let OPEC RAPE the US citizens. |
| Steve A. | Minneapolis, MN | November 13, 2008 | KEEP OUR GAS CHEAP, AND START DRILLING OUR OIL, & BUILD MORE REFINERIES!!! Also, somewhat un-related: DON'T TOUCH OUR 401k'S AND IRA'S!!!! These are huge tools for us middle class to be able to retire!!!!!!!! |

| Mary F. | Cottonwood, AZ | November 12, 2008 | Eating out, buying clothes, paying for medical bills and insurance. |
| Andrew I. | Penfield, NY | November 12, 2008 | Currently, gas is at a 20 month low and the last time I bought gasoline it was $2.79 in Rochester, NY. Granted, it is lower, but I am still recovering financially from the higher prices it was once at. I still only fill half my 8 gallon tank of my economy friendly 1995 Toyota Tercel (39 MPG highway, 35 city). Yes, gasoline is cheaper now, but we got into the high cost mess by being reactive,not proactive. We need to be proactive. I'd rather prevent a house from burning than being best prepared waiting for one. We need to do both. |

I have to hold back on getting prescriptions for my daughter whom has CF. We have to wait until we will be in that particular area of our drugstore. We also had to cut our grocery bill back. We are suffering greatly due to gas prices alone. There isn't any excuse for not drilling here and now! |

| Joyce B. | Keswick, VA | November 3, 2008 | My mother is in her 70's, and does not drive my sisters and I take turnes taking her out on Saturdays. She lives 18 miles from me. I usually take her another 18 miles shopping to get things she needs for the up coming week. So when I take my mother out I can drive as much as 60 Miles in a day. I am glad to see the gas prices falling, and it is some relief for my family. |
| Howard D. | Richmond, VA | November 3, 2008 | Gas prices have come down, but we must continue this trend! Please urge Washington to continue their fight and reduce dependence on foreigh oil, and fight the Democrats hard! |

| Jonothon G. | Kennewick, WA | November 3, 2008 | I think a good way to cut back on these costs and kick the oil companies in the nuts would be to let the government build some refineries and allow the government to start selling the gas. Regulated gas stations. Put big oil out of business. |
| Horace G. | O Fallon, IL | November 3, 2008 | I am tired of giving our money away to countries who hate our guts. I think its about time we start fending for ourselves and stop allowing foreign nations such a grip on our economy. It wouldn't take much for these countries who hate our guts to cripple us by either preventing us from buying their oil or by increasing the price to such a height that our economy crumbles. |
| Michael V. | Plattsburgh, NY | November 3, 2008 | I don't believe it is drilling that will help us out. Big oil has a lot of leases they are not using on places they can drill. We need to have big oil build more efficient refineries and keep our land free from oil drilling. Do you think big oil will keep drilling here if they know they can make more money on a small amount of oil?? I bet you didn't all think of that. This is not the DRILL BABY DRILL Movement, this should be the were fed up with Big Oil making billions of profit on feeding us information that there is not enough oil. We should all be ashamed to believe Corporate America on making us scared. Drill on Land in America you have leases for, not new land!! |
| Dorothy k. | Interlachen, FL | November 2, 2008 | We have an older car. This gas with ethenol in tearing up the engines, and causeing all kinds of car trouble. We shouldn't have this type of gas shoved down our throats . What are we supposed to drive when our cars quit. we all can't afford new cars like the fat cats in Washington. I pray they all get voted out!! |
| Lori C. | Ithaca, MI | November 1, 2008 | I drive 45 minutes ONE WAY to work........at a GAS STATION!! I cant hardly afford to get to and from work......and when I do get there......yep......I get to hear ALL the customers complain about the prices.....the SAME price that I pay at the pump!!! |

| SOMCHAY C. | Duluth, GA | October 31, 2008 | Not only do we need to start drilling, we really need to start nuclear and other sources of energies. The politicians have no intention of drilling, nuclear power, clean coal, wind, and solar. Using any of these will polute one thing or another, so they won't ever do it. Care for the enviroments might lead to the down fall of the USA. Solar power is being block in California desert, check it out at http://www.1800blogger.com/2008/10/30/calif-regulators-block-solar-power-plant-builders/ . This is one of the proof that we will never do anything to be energy independent. |

| Dennis T. | October 30, 2008 | We had politicians that knew how to avoid this crisis and dependance on foreign oil but their methods weren't popular and now we're paying the price. Invest in green technology and alternative fuels, nuclear,drill and refine is our only way out of this mess using American labor and resources with limited out of the country resources. NOW!!!! | |
| Brian W. | Jackson, MI | October 30, 2008 | my family's gas bill has almost doubled over the past 2 yrs. By adding another driver in the family, our budget has drastically been tightened. As well as food prices being effected. How can gas prices be so different over different areas. Traveling vacations are a thing of the past. |
| Alyssa B. | Altoona, PA | October 30, 2008 | I feel that the US needs to drill over hear. For crying out loud we have places to drill. If they drilled in the US maybe then we would pay such out raged gas prices. I will where i live we pay to much. Its hard for average working people like me to afford to fill my truck and car up. It takes almost $50 dollars to fill my car and almost $70 to fill my truck up. Hopefully by everyone everywhere signing this petition, that we make a change. Good luck to all the Truckers going on Nov 3rd to Protest in Atlanta,Georgia. Hope your protest is a success. |

| Marcie K. | Waterbury, CT | October 28, 2008 | I work hard, 40 + hours a week to try to get ahead and provide for my family. Just when things were looking up, the gas prices started going up. Now it’s to the point that I have to scrutinize every penny I put out for household expenses just so that I can afford to put gas in my car… to get back and forth to work...too make money so that I can put gas in my car! What’s the point of even going to work anymore if all I do is work to put gas in my car?! This is getting out of control! I am all for saving the world and not doing any damage to the ecological balance but there has to be a way we can glean resources from our own country. Also, I find it quite convenient that now that we are a short time away from presidential elections and the gas prices are coming down. Can you say “suck up”? |
| Monica C. | Midlothian, VA | October 28, 2008 | I should not be paying more in gas than i do on my monthly car note. It's just not right. Gas prices have more than doubled, there is no control over the ups and downs. |
| SOMCHAY C. | Duluth, GA | October 27, 2008 | We need not only start drilling, we really need to start nuclear and other sources of energies also.

| Dayne C. | Hudson, FL | October 26, 2008 | My family pays more for gas then for food. My wife is a home health aide and she is on the road working. If we tapped our own source for oil and gas we would not be sending billions of dollors overseas. Gas prices prices should be cheeper if so, but because of polotics, the prices would still be out of sight like they are. |
| Tommy R. | October 25, 2008 | I am tired of the left wing liberals raping our country for their greedy gains. The only change they want is less for us and more for themselfs. They want high gas prices to keep the big bucks in their pockets. I'm retired and my wife of 41 years is going blind and our burdens are many. Bless you all. | |

Lets take a look at all the oil that has been capped out at Bakerfield. Light Sweet Crude they wont touch. Then of course these worthless treehuggers in Malibu dont want drilling off the coast because it might spoil their view of the sun setting while they sip martini's and I am counting pennies to put gas in my tank.

| Anne S. | Rancho Cucamonga, CA | October 20, 2008 | Congress, my husband took a job 30 min away to better our lives. Then gas prices went sky high and we are now so far in debt because we need to become self efficient instead of relying on other countries to supply us. We have had to stop donating items to our children's school, going to their fundraisers because we can't afford to help out. By the way we shouldn't have to be giving because you guys are supposed to be providing them with everything they need because we already pay for your salaries and their schooling through our taxes. NO More TAXing. |
| Donnie B. | Troy, VA | October 20, 2008 | While you guys are eating steaks and seafood. We are eating bologna & cheese sndwichs , just so I can afford to put gas in my car to get back and forth to work. We are all being robbed with these expensive outragous gas & food prices. I recently read a poll that was taken in regards to inflation and much to my surprise Food and Gas were not included. I guess the American people don't need gas and food to survive in this country. WHAT a RIP???? |
| Beth P. | Palatka, FL | October 20, 2008 | Well, the gas prices are ever so slowly creeping down, however, along with me losing my job at the other place because of them going belly-up due to the economy (I was fortunate to find a new job quickly), my husband got laid off for the second time this year last Friday. We've about decided to let the house go, because now I'm going to be the only one working, and there is no way that I can pay all of it. Selling the house is the only option to avoid foreclosure. I am sad to see that the U.S. has gotten to the point where grown adults who are trying so hard to achieve the American Dream have to move back home with their parents, or live in tents, and give up everything they've worked hard for. It shouldn't be this way. |
| James V. | October 20, 2008 | Get the ethanol out of gasoline. Corn products belong back on the table not in our fuel tanks. Fuel and food are mutually dependent on supply and demand. Keep them separate to help keep both costs down. | |
