Ask yourself a question.  How far do you have to drive to get to work and other places? 

As gas prices continue to soar, the excuse has always been because of the demand for oil.  But who are we kidding here?  Is there really such a high demand? 

So again, ask yourself a serious question.  Has any of your habits of burning fuel changed, in over the last eight years? 

If you're like most U.S. citizens, then you pretty much have done the same thing, the same exact way, for the longest period of time.  The same miles that it took you to drive to work today are the same miles that you took eight years ago and even when you first started your job. 

And the same can be said of a lot of your driving habits, cooking habits and for the amount of gas you use to heat your homes.  So, where is this so-called "high" demand that is driving up the cost of gas? 

There isn't any.  Because you're not doing more today then you did yesterday.  Therefore, the demand of gas even isn't recognized. 

But not so fast.  Wait a minute.  There is still a war going on.  And the U.S. is spending billions of dollars, each week, to continue a situation that appears not to be productive. 

So, why should it cost you more to do the same exact things that you've always done, when the real cost of gas is due to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? 

It is costing you more money to buy orange juice, just because of the effects of gas prices.  Prices that are a direct result of a political fumble.  So, what are we to do?

The only way to really ease the pain at the pump and to get the U.S. economy back on track, is to challenge the White House to fest up and use the oil that we already have in reserve. 

Whether people may know it or not, the U.S. will not run out of fuel for a long time.  We have enough oil to last us at least another decade, even if not another barrel of oil is imported to America.  But since the american people are so use to believing in the fear of its elected officials, we don't dare question what is right in front our face. 

Some of you might disagree. But I ask you one last time.  Consider the question of whether you're doing more to drive up the cost of gas or not.  And then ask yourself where's the demand is actually coming from. 

Let's do the math.  Shall we?
