So this is a copy of the e-mail that I just sent to Nancy Pelosi. I am so sick and tired of her and her self-serving demeanor, so this is what I had to say:
I would just like to voice my disapproval of your partisan politics. It seems like you are more determined to undermine any good ideas unless it meets your political agenda. You don't work with members of other parties on anything just because they are not a Democrat. You constantly strive for your OWN ADVANCEMENT AND PUBLICITY at the expense of the American people. None is more apparent that your unwillingness to even attempt to support offshore drilling exploration in order to help decrease the American gas prices. Now I already know that you are going to come back and say that you supported placing a windfall profits tax on the oil companies, but it failed. I don't think that you and your party members remember the fact that it was tried before and that it RAISED gas prices.
The problem is the fact that America cannot drill offshore due to you and your party blocking a vote by the full floor. I will let you in on a little secret, AMERICANS WANT US TO DRILL FOR OIL IN OUR COUNTRY. Americans are tired of being hit at the pump and are tired of Democrats and environmentalists blocking our prosperity as a nation.
You have said yourself that it is pathetic that George Bush has to beg OPEC to increase oil production. Well Ms. Pelosi, if your party would allow us to drill in our own country, we wouldn't have to beg other countries for oil.
In my opinion (and I am sure that others share it) you need to put aside your partisanship and remember why you were elected. You were elected to serve the people and not to serve your own self interests. So it is time that you listen to the American people and encourage your party to do something. Maybe then you can raise the disapproval rating of Congress. As the Speaker of the House, you really need to step up here and show some leadership that you are lacking.
