WASHINGTON (AP) - Fifty-one congressional Democrats called on President Bush on Thursday to hold a bipartisan energy summit to find ways to reduce the country's dependence on oil.

They said participants should include representatives "from all facets of life" - from oil companies and automakers to environmentalists, academics and consumer advocates.

"Developing a serious long-term strategy to curb our nation's dangerous dependence on oil is long overdue," the Democrats said in a letter to Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

There was no immediate response from the White House on the summit idea.

1. They should have started pushing oil independence on 9/12/2001.

But they're a passel of political retards.

2. Democrats should hold their OWN energy summit WITHOUT Bush.

Call in leaders from all over the globe. They'll come - believe me, they'll come.

That'll end the meme that we have no vision.

3. YES. That would have more of an impact.

URge Democrats to come out strong for renewable energy / independence from imported fossil fuel.
