A Lack of Leadership If I were driving in Northern California and found myself at a stoplight next to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger I would give him a big thumb down because he drives a gas guzzling Hummer and that sets a poor example of leadership. If I were driving in Northern California and found myself at a stoplight next to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi I would give her two thumbs down for having the Congress take a five week break before voting on an Energy Bill that could have lowered the price of gasoline for every person that drives a vehicle in the United States. What we have here is a lack of Leadership. JamesLee 07August 2008 Speaker of the House Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi 202-224-3121 202-225-0100 |

James, People should walk more. It's good for their health. BTW, cheap gasoline is a thing of the past. There just ain't that much more oil left. Get a solar car. Horses are nice animals. Bobby |

James, Thank you and well said. Bobby, Walking may be a feasible plan in a city or urban area. Where I live it is out of the question. And I would love to buy a solar car or a car that was better on gas consumption. However, I don't have the money to think about it after paying for gas to get to work every day so I can remain a productive member of society - and after paying my electric bill and fuel bill. I burn a lot of wood in the winter, but guess what? It's been deemed as harmful to the atmosphere. So much for wood, huh. So, I will hang my hat next to James' and continue to agree with him.
