How do we stop the high gas prices and drill for oil in the USA?

I am interested in finding in finding a website or lots of people that feel as I do about high gas prices and drilling over here. My idea is that thousands of us block all roads into DC in protest of our not drilling for our own oil in the USA. This has went on long enough. We only need to drill in a small area in Alaska, off the Coast of Florida, under the Lakebed in South Dakota and process Oil Shale. Come on People lets force the Government into working for us instead of us for themHow do we stop the high gas prices and drill for oil in the USA?
I know this is long....but informative. I'm with YOU!





With 94% of the world's oil supply locked up by foreign governments, most of which are hostile to the United States, the relatively puny American oil companies do not have access to enough crude oil to significantly affect the market and help bring prices down. Thus, Exxon Mobil, a small oil company, buys 90% of the crude oil that it refines for the U.S. market from the big players, i.e, mostly-hostile foreign governments. The price at the U.S. pump is rising because the price the big oil companies charge Exxon Mobil and the other small American companies for crude oil is going up.





This is obviously a tough situation for the American consumer. The irony is that it doesn't have to be that way. The United States--unlike, say, France--actually has vast petroleum reserves. It would be possible for American oil companies to develop those reserves, play a far bigger role in international markets, and deliver gas at the pump to American consumers at a much lower price, while creating many thousands of jobs for Americans. This would be infinitely preferable to shipping endless billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia, Russia and Venezuela.





So, why doesn't it happen? Because the Democratic Party--aided, sadly, by a handful of Republicans--deliberately keeps gas prices high and our domestic oil companies small by putting most of our reserves off limits to development. China is now drilling in the Caribbean, but our own companies are barred by law from developing large oil fields off the coasts of Florida and California. Enormous shale oil deposits in the Rocky Mountain states could go a long way toward supplying American consumers' needs, but the Democratic Congress won't allow those resources to be developed. ANWR contains vast petroleum reserves, but we don't know how vast, because Congress, not wanting the American people to know how badly its policies are hurting our economy, has made it illegal to explore and map those reserves, let alone develop them.





In short, all Americans are paying a terrible price for the Democratic Party's perverse energy policies.How do we stop the high gas prices and drill for oil in the USA?
The rich want more and everyone else does not count, only what they have to take counts. To conquer people, place yourself at the top, you secure and limit what everyone needs, that being energy. Do not expect change from the government or its parties when it comes to redistributing their wealth, to stop high gas prices as well as bad energy polidies I'd say substantial revolt would be necessary.
I don't think drilling the US alone will lower gas prices. We also need more refineries which haven't been built for 30 years because of NIMBYism. We all know gas is a limited resource and sooner or later we are going to run out. It kills me that we haven't turned more to alternative fuels, I truly believe the gas companies are preventing that from happening.
We need to contact our elected representatives and tell them we the people will remove them from office if they keep kowtowing to the environmental radicals. We must demand energy production in the USA and North America.





The next thing the kooks want to do is eliminate coal and nuclear generated electricity. That is going to hurt bad. We need to stop these people before they force us back into the caves.
we need to boycott oil.. there ARE alternative sources but oil companies decline them because they are making so much money off the oil. we need to stop getting oil and turn to alternative sources.
