Yesterday Oregon Senator Ron Wyden declared on the Senate floor that he would not leave until members of the Senate voted on his legislation. The legislation would eliminate royalty relief subsidies for drilling on government land if oil prices exceed $55 per barrel. We all know that oil is well over that right now, and that his legislation would stop the federal government giveaways. This is a good piece of legislation and he needs our support. The media isn't talking about it, and the web is only mentioning how the Republican Pete Domenici of New Mexico broke the rules by not asking Wyden a question, and rather lecturing him instead. Wyden held the floor for nearly five hours, he needs our help. Write to your Senators and urge them to support Wyden's legislation. It may not stop the pain at the pump but it will stop the giveaways. Check out the article...
