August Oil Expenditures

August may be vacation time for many people, but our reliance on foreign oil didn’t take any time off. In August alone we imported 355 million barrels of oil and sent $25.2 billion overseas – the most spent on foreign oil out of any month this year…. We are digging ourselves deeper into a hole every day and our economy and security are suffering. Contact your representatives in Washington – This is very very important they are voting right now on Natural Gas, Exploration and many Energy Bills.

I put this same comment on Facebook and it did not elicit one single response.  People on FB talk about tattoos, what personality and all sort of other nonsensical trivia but never comment on the real deals.  Worse is that very few will ever take the 20 minutes to send an email to their representatives in Washington.
