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.
