The New Language of Smart Energy

 
We just released a joint report with Frank Luntz entitled "The New Language of Smart Energy."  (Click here to download PDF)

The document focuses on what the American people believe regarding energy policy.  It is a tri-partisan document that is useful and informative for everyone you know -- Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike.

At a time when Americans' pocketbooks are hurting, this paper offers a blueprint to have a dialogue about energy that is positive and solution-oriented.

I hope you'll take a moment to read it over and share it with your friends and family.

Read on for the top 10 things the American people believe about energy...

Highlights from Joint House and Senate Press Conference

I as mentioned yesterday, we were honored to hold a joint press conference with House and Senate leadership earlier this week to deliver the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition on your behalf.

Here are some highlights from the press conference.

Take special note of Senator John Cornyn's closing remarks. He says you are doing “what every citizen of America has a right to do, and that is to petition their government. To petition for change.”

Well said, Senator. This certainly is a petition for change.

Petition Delivery on FOX Business

I was on FOX Business earlier today talking about our press conference on Capitol Hill yesterday when we delivered 1.3 million petition signatures to House and Senate leadership.

1.3 Million Voices for Lower Gas Prices

We had the exciting opportunity to hold a press conference at the Capitol yesterday with House and Senate GOP leadership.  We were there to speak on behalf of you and 1.3 million other Americans who are demanding that Congress act now to lower our gas and diesel prices.

I wish all 1.3 million "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition signers could have been there to tell their story to Congress how increased food and energy prices are hurting their families.  Even though everyone wasn't there, each and every voice was certainly represented.

And I'm pleased to report that Congress is listening.

With your help, we have sent a strong message to every lawmaker and candidate in every state and congressional district that Americans of all political backgrounds want a comprehensive energy plan that produces more American energy resources, develops new systems of conservation, and focuses on technological breakthroughs for alternative energy sources.

We'll have the full video of the press conference posted soon.  But in the meantime, here's a video of Senator McConnell talking about receiving your petition signature.

Senator Cornyn on the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" Movement

Senator John Cornyn from Texas has started a great conversation on his blog this week about making American energy independent. 

He also recorded this video about the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" movement.  Be sure to leave your comments on his blog and thank Senator Cornyn for his leadership on energy issues.
