Posted by Joe Roberts for Congress staff
Energy is one of the most important issues facing the United States today, which is the reason it has been and will continue to be a cornerstone of Joe Robert's campaign. Reliable energy is vital to the economy, which makes it vital to our security. Yet over the past twenty-five years Republicans have kept us firmly in a fossil fuel economy that places us in the hands of countries that fund terrorists. Rather than develop technologies that would create living wage jobs and support farmers here in the US, Republicans have fought against and even dismantled programs that would have meant a more secure and independent country.
Joe Roberts says no more.
Join us on the flip for what we are doing about it.
First, take a look at Joe's position paper on renewable energy:
Joe Roberts Energy Position. This was one of the first position papers put up on the website. While this position paper discusses the specific conditions here in Northwest Florida, many of the ideas apply to the country as a whole.
But that is not all.
Joe has read Energize America, and will incorporate it into his programs once elected to Congress.
Energize America is a good example of democracy at it's best. A group of individuals sees a problem that needs to be addressed, comes together, and develops a plan. That plan is then circulated and presented to a large group of people, gathering ideas and refining the plan. Then the results are picked up by people like Joe Roberts who will take them to Congress and make Energize America part of the future of the United States.
Joe would like to see other candidates step up and endorse Energize America as well. We need to secure America by making us more energy independent, and stop spending our energy dollars in countries that fund terrorists. Let's spend those dollars on American jobs and farmers.
Please help Joe put Energize America into practice. Visit the website and drop Joe a note about how you think Energize America will help the US. If you can, please contribute to the campaign.

Joe would like to live blog about this at some point, but the campaign is kicking into high now that we are into the home stretch. It really is a grassroots campaign with volunteers working hard to send Joe to Washington. Staff will stick around for a while to answer questions and comments here will be seen by Joe.
