Tell Congress too pump more.

Hello all, I want to address a topic I already wrote about. I want to talk about high oil prices from a global perspective though.
For many years member of the US. Congress has passed laws prohibiting oil companies from drilling in various areas that are known to have oil reserves due to a possible threat to the environment. America lies at the mercy of foreign countries for oil since members of Congress rather are friendly to the various environmentalist groups. I won’t get in that tare today.
I want to prove that a market should be supply and demand, and not a monopoly of a few countries that have huge egos. Brazil tired of depending on Venezuela’s mercy for oil decided to drill in the Atlantic coast. According to World Net Daily Brazilian officials discovered a reserve containing up to 80 billion barrels of oil. They now can export this oil instead of depending on Saudi Arabia. The BBC reported yesterday that Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced plans for Great Britain to seek furthering drillings of the North Sea.
Why all the countries outside of our own are have the right idea? I am signing a petition created by American Solutions to ask Congress to drill in the US soon and to stop trying to create complicated policies that gets us nowhere. I hope that you will voice your opinion to your representative so they know that they are their to do what we need them to do. We have to voice our opinions, or they are not going to help decrease the game that gasoline prices have become. Are you going to let them hear your voice, or are you just going to sit back complaining about the current rising gas prices? James.
