START THE BOYCOTT JULY 4, 2008

DEMAND AND ENERGY SOLUTION NOW

DEMAND MCCAIN, OBAMA, AND CLINTON WORK TOGETHER NOW TO SOLVE OUR ENERGY PROBLEMS NOT AFTER THE ELECTION

The American people are tired of waiting for a real energy bill to come to life. This presidential election we have three senators running for president. Obama, McCain, and Clinton all have promised that if we elect one of them they will solve our energy problems. Now is the time to �??PUT THEIR VOTE WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS�?�.

Truckers have tired to stop buying diesel in protest of the high price but it did not work. There are boycotts not to buy gas on certain days but that does not work since the next day we will have to buy gas.

My proposal is not to send money to any of the presidential nominees and not to show up to their speeches or rallies. Doing this will not take money out of our pocket books but out of theirs. Demand that McCain, Clinton, and Obama push legislation NOW that will fix out energy problem not after one of them is elected in November.

We want:

�?� A real energy bill that fixes our energy crises in the short term and long term
�?� Legislation that will create new refineries that will also create good jobs
�?� Real legislation on Bio Fuels and the truth about corn based ethanol
�?� Investigation on the increase of cost at the gas pump
�?� Money invested in America�??s own oil fields and oil shale

Stand up America and demand that our problems are fixed and demand that is happens now not next year.

START THE BOYCOTT OF THE CAMPAINS OF OBAMA, CLINTON, AND MCCAIN JULY 4, 2008.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANY CAMPAIN UNTIL THEY FIX OUR ENERGY PROBLEM NOW.

How long do you think it will take for the nominees to push for a real energy bill when they see their campaign money dry up and no one shows up to their speeches?

McCain wants a tax cut without funding; his proposal would increase the budget deficit and the national debt.

Clinton wants to shift the tax burden from consumers to suppliers of gas. But one of the first lessons that students of economics learn is that tax burdens depend on the elasticity of suppliers and demanders. Elasticity is basically how much demand changes given a price change. Since consumption of gas is not extremely elastic (people still need to commute to work, farmers still need to run tractors, etc.) the new tax on suppliers would simply be passed on to consumers, negating the benefit of a tax cut.

I don’t support Obama for the presidency (yet), but he’s right that we shouldn’t ease the gas tax. It wouldn’t do any good.

And you’re completely right that we need long-term solutions to our dependency on oil, not just short-term bandages.
