Independence from foreign oil must be our top priority. The conservative ignorant and religious right can take their issues of Gay marriage, abortion, prayer in screwls and similar agendas, and kindly go fuck themselves.

Continued dependency on oil can at best, only be temporary. So much... SO MUCH rides, dependent on this one issue. Global climate change is rooted in it. The economy is driven by it. Heating of the buildings, homes and churches where abortions, Gay marriages and screwl prayer, all revolve around this central, core issue.

I am one of Picken's army, and here is his message. It's my message too.

Hey Army,

I’ve told you this all along �?our addiction to foreign oil could bring us to our knees, and there wouldn’t be a damn thing we could do about it. Now take a look at today’s headlines. OPEC just announced it’s cutting production by 2.2 million barrels. Remember �?this is on top of the 2 million barrels in cuts they’ve already made since this summer! These guys are serious about getting the price of oil back up right where they like it: $75 a barrel, $100 a barrel, $150 a barrel.

This is exactly why now is the time to pull together and Push the Pickens Plan. Every time the price of oil drops, America falls asleep. The Saudis don’t. The Iranians don’t. The Venezuelans don’t. But we do.

President-elect Obama said it best a few weeks ago on 60 Minutes. “Oil prices go up, gas prices at the pump go up, everybody goes into a flurry of activity. And then the prices go back down and suddenly we act like it’s not important, and we start, you know, filling up our SUVs again. And, as a consequence, we never make any progress. It’s part of the addiction, all right. That has to be broken. Now is the time to break it.�?/FONT>
