To CONGRESS
JULY 4, 2008

A unanimous Declaration from the 50 united States of America.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a people to dissolve their dependence on foreign oil and force Congress to act to defend America by allowing environmentally sound development of the natural resources that God established in this country for the betterment of all Americans.

We hold these truths to be self-evident that Americans have suffered long enough and that Americans should not be dependent on foreign dictators like Hugo Chavez or any other dictator or nation that supports terror groups.  Americans have the need for energy independence to secure the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Congress should end the tyrannical rule over our nation by hostile foreign nations by encouraging more production of American energy from all of America's bountiful resources. To prove this, let these facts be aired to the People:

~ Congress has refused to enact laws necessary for American Energy Independence and Security;

~ Congress' hostility toward American-made energy has driven prices higher for gasoline, food, home heating fuel and the basic necessities of life, levying the heaviest burden on the poor and preventing them from exercising their own fundamental civil rights;

~ Congress' failure to act is costing America jobs, its technological edge and a highly trained work force for the future; and

~ Congress' determination to keep America dependent on foreign energy is putting resources into the hands of terror groups that hate our nation and try to kill Americans.

We, therefore, as citizens of the United States of America, petition Congress to enact laws and declare our nation one of  energy independent and secure states, free from allegiance to foreign oil. As citizens and representatives of government, we call upon Congress to act now by enacting a comprehensive program, the Americans for American Energy Act. 

And for the support of this Declaration, with a view toward firm reliance on our nation's abundant resources, we refuse to sacrifice our jobs, our economy, our recreation, and our children's futures for lack of a domestic energy policy.

Signed,
