Question

Should there be a social movement against rising gas prices?

Answer 1

Yes, we should all to to ANWR and start drilling by ourselves.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

It wouldn't help.

Answer 4

What good would it do.

We have a dwindling supply of oil, of course gas prices will rise.  No social movement can create oil.

Artificially lowering gas prices will increase demand - we will burn up whatever is left even faster.  This is bad on many levels, especially environmental.

Besides, we pay anyway.  If we subsidize oil or gasoline production we will be paying higher taxes.  So we pay on April 15 instead of at the pump.  What's the difference?

Answer 5

How about a social movement towards alternative resources and mass transportation?

Answer 6

A social movement.....like protesting? The most effective protest is to not buy it.

Answer 7

Don't know about a social movement, but you can let your leaders know we've had enough.  Click on the link at the bottom! If you don't, don't complain about prices.

Here are some hard facts to chew on.

For you ENVIRONMENTALISTS: Katrina and Ruth damaged or destroyed nearly 1000 oil wells.. NOT ONE DROP LEAKED.

ANWR is the size of South Carolina... The Oil drilling operation is less than half the size of Dulles Airport.

For you Anti-War folks: We send 700 BILLION a year to the Saudi's to buy their oil( more than 5 times the cost of the War)

China is drilling 60 miles of the Florida Coast, but we can't!

"Big Oil" profit margin:  4%

Fed/State taxes on a gallon  15%

The link at the bottom is a great article.

If you want to do something.. sign this petition. Goal is 7 mil by election day!

Enough is Enough!

Look what I found on YouTube about oil prices!  

It's a bit dated, but still accurate.

It won't help, they've got us by the nads and won't let us go until we have to change allegiance.
