Follow the campaign contributions... Exxon -----> GOP



During the 2000 election cycle, ExxonMobil gave $1,375,250 to political campaigns - second only to Enron among oil and gas company campaign contributions. Of this total, 89 percent went to Republican candidates. Over the last decade, ExxonMobil has consistently been a leader in corporate campaign contributions - sparing no expense to elect representatives who are sympathetic to its agenda.

3. Maybe labels need to be applied at the pumps
Big Oil funded Republican political campaigns.
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House.
Understand the high price now?

Note - Don't accuse Bush at the pump anymore, accuse REPUBLICANS. Target his protectors and enablers, since they can lose big this fall. After that, Bush's big balls are put in the nut cruncher.

6. Buy your gas at Citgo if at all possible.
It is nationally-owned by Venezuela so more of your dollar(s) go toward improving the life of that country's people and less toward obscene profits of American oil companies.

And they usually are a few cents cheaper. Even if not cheaper, still the right (or rather, left) thing to do.
