Hitting Nevada Budgets: Gas Prices Rise To New Record Levels

As gas prices continue to gouge the bank accounts of Nevadans across our state, I have been fighting for the family budget back in Washington, D.C. I took to the Senate floor this week to argue against the Democrat’s Climate Tax Bill which would increase the price of gas by 53 cents. As I have previously stated, we must begin to explore for more American energy, which includes the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and establishing offshore deep sea exploration. The concept of securing our long-term energy security is not a political talking point and shouldn’t be used as such; it’s a matter of national security. As gas prices continue to climb, with many asking how high the ladder is before we reach the top, Congress must act.

I need your help. I am asking for you to drive this message into action by sharing the impact gas prices are having on your life. I’ll pass them along to my colleagues in the Senate so they can get a real sense of the toll these prices are taking on family budgets in Nevada. I believe we must put a face on this crisis, and I know these stories will help keep the heat on Washington to bring real solutions to this problem.

If you are willing to share your story, I would be grateful. Please take a few minutes to send me an e-mail describing the impact these prices have had on your life. Please be sure to include your name, address, and a phone number where my office can reach you should we have any further questions regarding your situation.

Congress must take action and stop sitting on the sidelines while gas prices continue to one-up American families. Your stories will help this fight.
