Should America Build Bridges to Nowhere?

On Tuesday, September 16th, Barack Obama’s Opponent said that offshore drilling for oil is a bridge. He is exactly right. It would save us about three cents per gallon at the pump. Offshore drilling is really just another “bridge to nowhere.”

Republicans Like to Build Bridges to Nowhere. Bridges and other contracts that put money in the pockets of friends and associates. Drugs and sexual favors in the Department of the Interior. Unbid service contracts in Iraq.

Over the Past Eight Years, we Americans have had far too many examples of “bridges to nowhere.” Instead, now it’s time for the next technology boom, a boom in alternative energy, which will provide countless new jobs for Americans–in manufacturing, in programming, in design and sales.

America Can Invest in Change. We can invest in a new boom of wind power and solar power technology for America. Or we can build one more “bridge to nowhere,” by drilling in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Which Will It Be This Time? “Build, Baby, build” or “Drill, Baby, drill”? The American voter gets to decide.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden Are Asking for Your Vote on November 4th. The time is now to change America. We are ready to “Build, Baby, build!” Barack Obama and Joe Biden are ready to change America. The time has come to turn our ship of state around.

"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.
