Oil prices up 45% so far this year

Unless you're a member of Congress who doesn't have to pay for gasoline or Barack Obama, who has so much money, he's giving a lot of it to Hillary Clinton, you've probably been hit hard by rising gasoline prices.

Thanks to 25 years of inaction by Congressional Democrats, the United States finds itself over a barrel.

There are a few things you can do.

First, go to the American Solutions Web site and sign the online petition to demand Congress lift the ban on drilling for new oil.

Then tell your Democratic Congressman that his or time is up. Vote them out in the November election unless you want to spend more at the pump.

Finally, you can send the clearest message of all in November by rejecting Barack Obama's old-style liberalism of higher taxes and more government regulations.
