I&#8217;ve been thinking lately that it would be in the oil companies&#8217; best interest to start a campaign to get Congress to open up drilling in protected areas. It&#8217;s time that they fight back against the labels the left have given them (big oil) and show the public who the real enemy is: big Congress. They could start an ad campaign using these clips with a simple voice over:<br \/>\n&#8220;We tried to tell Congress that they need to open up new areas for drilling but they wouldn&#8217;t listen, they threatened to take over our industry as Hugo Chavez took over the oil industry in Venezuela. Now it&#8217;s your turn to tell Congress what you think of drilling.&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd then give the switchboard number for Congress. I think with oil prices so high, this is the perfect time to strike and get drilling in protected areas.<br \/>\nBTW, I could just see the mess that the government would make of the oil industry. I shudder at the thought.<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2008\/05\/22\/video-maxine-waters-threatens-to-nationalize-americas-oil-industry\/\">via<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She couldn&#8217;t figure out the word for it (senior moment, probably).
