Congratulations to the Oil Drum Editors for pointing out the nonsense and pandering we have been seeing from our national politicians on this issue. Thank You.

On behalf of my colleagues, thank you for the kind words.  We're doing what we can.

All that we can ask of all of you is that you send this link or the .pdf to everyone and anyone you believe can help us get this perspective out into the discourse.  Post it on blogs, media outlets, discussion fora, you name it.  

This is an opportunity, a teaching moment.  We have to seize it.

I sent it to Bartlett's PR person.

You can find your congressman's web site here:

Dig around and find their PR person, email directly to them.
The other way gets lower priority. Even better is to call their office.

The Oil Drum needs to get a face on TV, preferrably debating Bill O'Reilly.

I saw some guy from a Cambridge, Massachusetts think tank/online-publication yesterday doing just this yesterday. I think his name was Mac Johnson. He could have used some coaching from more moderate voices here. It seems that the only ones challenging the notion that it is not about gouging are primarily righties. Moderates and lefties need to get on board.

You guys are a shining example. I give this press release 99 out of 100 points. Keep up the good work.

Our "leaders" have, once again, failed to actually lead.  I have little faith that they will, en masse, suddenly see the light and actually work toward a solution. Increasingly irrelevant, they have now sunk to the point that they are part of the problem.  Misdirection, on a grand scale.....
