Letter to Representatives Requesting the Opening of Oil Stores in the US and the Temporary ban on oil imports.

Last Udpate was on January 31st, 2007

This letter was mailed not just to Mary L. Landrieu, but to all of my federal level representatives. I have yet to receive a response from any of them. The price of gas hurts those on the lower end of the working class more than anybody, yet they do nothing to bring don the cost of gas. All they would have to do to bring down the cost of gas is stop government interference of oil production in the US and stop all oil imports for several months and prices would fall. Government should not be interfering with the market to begin with.

Honorable Mary L. Landrieu,

I am moving to Haynesville next week as we have purchased a home there. Since, you will be one of my elected representatives, I thought I would take this time to introduce myself. I am a very active constituent, and make sure that as many people as possible are kept informed as to what our elected officials are doing and what their stances are on issues of concern.

I believe the current most pressing issue is the cost of gas at the gas pumps. Most all of us who have done a modicum of research on the subject are very aware that we currently have large enough stores of crude oil in this country in previously dug wells to support our country at present rate of growth for the next 200 years. There is no excuse, as a result, to not permit the opening of the Alaska pipeline.

As you are probably aware, the Alaska pipeline is four feet in diameter and has never operated at more than half capacity, even though there are sufficient stores of oil there to fill two four foot pipelines as the braces were built to support.

If we were to cease the importation of crude oil, even on a temporary basis, it would take very little time for the price of gasoline to drop at the pumps so that hard working families could once again afford gas. With the ever growing added tax to the cost of gas at the pumps, it is the poorest of Americans who suffer the most.

The cost of gas has grown so high, that the poor would not even be able to flee affected states during the hurricane season should the need arise. There are sufficient stores of oil that could bring the price of gasoline down at least near the one dollar range.

Please support the opening of the Alaska pipeline, and any other oil store in the U.S.A. so that we may not only bring down the price of gas for the poor, but also bring a boost to the economy and put non-working Americans to work.

Sincerely,

Michael R. Hamilton
