"Drill, Baby, Drill?" — or "Build, Baby, Build?"

Wouldn’t It Be Great if we could wave a magic wand and lower the price of gasoline three cents at the pump? Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if we opened up drilling in the offshore areas of the Gulf of Mexico and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and then by 2012, we had barrels of oil flowing out of those wells?

But Oil in the Ground Is Like Money in the Bank. Wouldn’t it be a sensible thing right now, to save that oil for the future, and pay the extra three cents?

The Price of Oil Is Coming Back Down. As you may have noticed, the price of oil is coming back down, from a high of more than $147 per barrel, down today below $96 a barrel. The world knows that change is coming to America, and these changes are reflected in a 35% price drop. Right now is a time for saving our valuable reserves. Now is the time for solving the nation’s energy crisis. And saving our oil reserves for the next time.

New Growth Is What America Needs Now. A new growth industry, that puts gas in the tank and food on the table, that pays down some debt and puts some money in the bank for the future. It's time to invest in the next new thing. It's time for America to build new jobs in the next hi-tech “new thing”: alternative energy.

Investing in New Technologies of sustainable energy will give America a new technology boom. A new technology boom puts Americans back to work in good jobs. Jobs in programming and design. In manufacturing. Real jobs, good-paying jobs. Right here in America.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden Are Asking for Your Vote on November 4th. It’s time to change from the deregulation of Wall Street and the investment banks and the mortgage companies. It’s time for a change to new investment in the American worker. It's time to reinvest in the American spirit.

It's Time to Build, Baby, Build. Change for America is just four months away. The next technology boom starts January 21, 2009.


Thank You For Your Support

Today, oil closed at $91.15 a barrel, which is about five-and-a-half percent less than yesterday, and the lowest rate in months. Now that the Democrats look ready to reclaim leadership, perhaps the long nightmare of $4.00 gasoline will soon be over.

And now back over $100 a barrel as the economic concerns increase.

Today, oil experienced its largest one-day gain ever. The settling price was $129.92, which is up $16.37 a barrel.

"Oil settles more than $10 lower to $96.37 a barrel after the House rejects historic $700 billion economic bailout plan."
