Friday i was at the pennsylvania democratic state committee meeting in camp hill Pa. There was a woman = Renee George Martin Who shared the following
(special assitant for legislative affairs for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania)
They were holding a meeting with over 300 hundred Pa. democrats in attendence. She spoke about The USA fighting Iraq due to Sadam Husein selling oil in euro's versus dollars. She also mentioned Iran was doing the same and this was the reason Bush wants to attack Iran. She also mentioned that Pemex was the Mexican petroleum company that was altering its sales to america
She said Mexico's petroleum corporation would only sell america oil for 7 more years. She said they need it for their future use.
She said Mexico's "Pemex" is our number 2 supplier. She said Canada was our number 1 supplier. She said Brazil and two other countries also sold their oil in euro's. She said if all oil producing countries sold their oil in euro's that america would collaspe. She said china owns billions of US dollars as well as the middle east. My question to all is below in the body.
Have other democratic leaders spoken about this topic to you in your state?
I know Governor Ed Rendell is working hard to get windmills and solar and smart meters for penssylvania's citizens
.
Renee mentioned Henery kissinger who cut a deal in the 70's with all the oil producing countries to sell their oil in dollars.
She said the middle east holds the most US dollars and china is number 2.
She said Pennsylvania has a bill called the "penn security bill"
That means to grow it here, but one letter from the petroleum institute stopped the bill.
She mentioned an energy independence package which will be the first bill discussed here in Pa in a special session in september.
She told us to go to http://www.debweb.state.pa.us and look at the house bills 1200 and 1202 and 1203. She said that it passed with the force of Pa citizens in southeast Pa who contacted their republican state house members. She said 1201 is coming up for special session. She wants us to see which republican house members mostly in central pa didn't vote for 1200, 1202 and 1203 to see if we can call them to switch and support this bill. She says if 1201 doesn't pass pennsylvania citizens will get a doubling of their electricity rates after the contract runs out this year.
I am wondering how open your state is with regards to what seems to be an incredible great opening of the truth by the democratic party to its people.
I am also at the same time alerting Pa residents here at the dailykos about this situation.
I suppose if you own stock in this company that supplies most of Pennsylvania's energy that you wouldn't mind rates doubling. However, many are poor in pa both in the cities and in the country and only a select few (more than likely republican households with stocks in this utility) won't mind a rate change.
Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section and try to make your subject line to reference "PA" for local pa response's and use "Er" for World oil sales Euro versus dollars responses .
Thank you and i hope i have brought to light some important democratic issues to Pa residents and to USA residents and World residents.
NOTE: My first comment will be an example of using PA or ER in subject line so you still have plenty of room to add other informative points to your comments subject line.
