*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** Here is the official White House energy site: http://www.whitehouse.gov/energy/ Meanwhile, I think this is the first special "opposition" web site set up by the Democratic Party since Bush took office. Moveon.Org has a petition: http://www.moveon.org/priceshocked/index.html And here is a quasi-commercial protest site and cheap gas finder site: http://www.gasolineprotest.com/ http://www.gaspricewatch.com/ I have not found a particularly active e-mail list like we saw in the UK with last year's petrol protests: http://mail.tc.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0009&L=do-wire&P=R1036 Steven Clift Democracies Online ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Thu, 17 May 2001 19:27:08 -0000 From: "Democratic News" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Democrats Launch GrandOldPetroleum.com Website [Democratic News, 5/17/01] Dear Buzzard, While the Bush Administration and the GOP prepare to unveil their new energy policy for Big Oil, the Democratic National Committee is launching a new website -- GrandOldPetroleum.com -- to highlight the faces of Big Oil within the Bush/Cheney Administration. http://www.GrandOldPetroleum.com The website exposes the special interests behind Bush's energy plan and includes a brief history of how Bush and Cheney have supported higher gas prices thoughout their careers. The website also features a message you can send to Bush and Cheney telling them that you are tired of spending your money on higher fuel bills while Big Oil is making record profits. "It's clear that Bush's tax cut is nothing more than a pipeline of profits from the White House to the special interests who put him in office. The $100 billion in economic stimulus Bush is proposing for next year could be swamped by as much as $130 billion in higher gas prices. So all the money you supposedly save with the tax cut goes right into the pockets of the oil companies," DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe said. Bush's tax plan is tilted toward special interests. His energy plan is tilted toward special interests. Meanwhile, Republicans have done nothing for people like you who are paying out the nose every time they fill up. Visit GrandOldPetroleum.com and let the Bush Administration know that you want lower energy prices now. http://www.GrandOldPetroleum.com It's important to get the truth out about Bush's energy plan. Please forward this email out to all your friends and let them know there is something they can do to help lower energy prices. ****************************** This is a read-only email; please do not reply.
