Don’t Get Used To Them
"Yesterday, while you were going to church and relaxing with your family, I bet you thought that you didn’t have to worry about the Left and what it might be up to. But you’d be wrong. Even on Sunday, the Left is working hard to implement its agenda no matter the costs to you and your family.
Yesterday, in a rare Sunday session, the new Senate cast its first vote of the 111th Congress by shutting down a filibuster of a 1,300-page, pork-infested “omnibus lands bill” that was stalled by Senate conservatives last year. The results of the November elections gave Democrats an expanded majority, which in turn gave Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) the numbers he needed to overcome conservative objections.
No doubt many of you have been enjoying the relatively low gas prices of recent weeks. If so, don’t get used to them. OPEC is reeling from the lower oil prices caused by the global economic downturn, and it recently announced its biggest production cut ever. Reuters reported yesterday that gas prices are in fact beginning to inch back up – up 12 cents in the past three weeks and the first increase since July. Now liberal Democrats are doing their part to add to your pain at the pump.
According to Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), one of the provisions in the bill that Harry Reid rammed through the Senate yesterday puts “8.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 300 million barrels of oil out of production” in Western states.
Many of you tell me that you keep these “End of Day” reports. Be certain to keep this one. The next time our economy takes off, or when some international crisis hits, and oil is $150 a barrel and gas is $4.00 a gallon, when Harry Reid demands an investigation of “Big Oil” and threatens “windfall profits taxes,” reread this report. Big Government policies – chief among them the Democrat oil embargo against America that restricts our own domestic supplies – will be the culprit, not private enterprise, which actually produces a product it must sell in order to survive."
