Hey Chrisale,
Here is my letter to my congressman, which I will edit and send to my senators. Maybe if we want to do something we should try to force the Congress to ask one question of our friends the Saudis. It seems like any easy question from my point of view. Editorial comments accepted.
---------------------
Dear Mike,
I do not write too much, but I am worried about the state of the world and frankly my investments at home. I have thought about the reasons for my anxiety and I have come to the conclusion that you can help. The source of continued growth and expansion in the world economies is the effective use of energy. Energy allows countries to reduce human suffering and elevate freedom. With this thought in mind, we urge you to ask President Bush to implore his friend and ally Saudi Arabia to “open the books” on the oil reserves to outside scrutiny. The audit of energy resources will allow me and many others to plan for the future and allow me to get back to work to generate revenue for the Treasury.
If you would like my recommendations for the blue ribbon panel to conduct this review, please do not hesitate to call, or better yet speak to Roscoe Bartlett R-MD.
Your Constituent,
Greg Hunter

Greg,
Two, maybe three questions:
1. Do you have a net worth more than $10 million?
2. How much money have you contributed to said politician?
3. If you haven't sent ALOT of money why are you bothering to write your Congressman?
If the answer to #3 is "I dispatched some hookers along with the note I sent . . ." then I understand you may not be able to disclose your lobbying strategy here on a public internet forum.
=)
