Senator Jim Inhofe is a leader in the charge to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, even as Democrat obstructionists work overtime to thwart American independence. Read Senator Inhofe's message and take his poll. Then read about his commonsense plan to bring prices at the pump back down.
"Boy did we hit a nerve on Monday. It's no surprise -- the national average for a gallon of gas is over $4 and the Democrat Senate leadership is sitting on their hands. When we sent our pulse poll we expected 1-2,000 votes. Well we had over 8,000 votes and our highest day of website traffic since we launched our campaign website last year.
Today, as promised, I want to hear from you about what solutions we should focus on. That's why I'm announcing a Gas Price Reduction Survey. We all agree that $4 for a gallon of gas is crippling family budgets, but what the folks here in Washington don't agree on is what to do about it.
I'm asking you to participate in this Gas Price Reduction Survey to send a message to leaders in Washington. You'll indicate exactly what methods for lowering gas prices you support, and I'll share the results with my colleagues. And to make sure each voice is heard, I'm asking you to please forward the survey on to your friends and family as well.
On the site, you'll also learn about the many ways I've been fighting for years to lower prices at the pump. Whether it is increasing America's refining capacity, expanding exploration for domestic sources of oil and gas, or investing in cutting-edge alternative fuels that Oklahoma is a national leader in, I've been a strong supporter of decreasing the cost of energy as well as reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
So please click here to take the survey and learn more.
Thank you for all you do,
Jim Inhofe
P.S. The debate on gas prices is ongoing and the price of gas isn't getting any lower, so be sure to make your voice heard by participating in the Gas Price Reduction Survey now."
