Tired of $4 a gallon gas and being held hostage by foreign interests?

Our addiction to oil is destroying our environment and placing our financial future in jeopardy. And like so many other forms of addiction, many of us are in denial. But the warning signs are there, spurring a movement to save America’s future led by former Vice President Al Gore and oilman T. Boone Pickens and including almost all credible scientists.

No matter who wins the Presidential election in November, he will be greeted with a myriad of problems to contend with. One of those problems is the $700 Billion bailout of America’s newly nationalized financial sector.

But that $700 Billion pales in comparison to the $7 TRILLION dollars we will be transferring to countries that don’t even like us over the next ten years if we keep up our current energy strategy.

Watch this video where oilman T. Boone Pickens explains how that transfer of wealth will be disastrous to our nation and how we can build a bridge to a new energy future starting today.

And while you’re at it, visit WeCanSolveIt.org to learn more about how we can free ourselves from foreign-imposed slavery and solve the climate crisis once and for all.

This isn’t just about oil or polar bears – it’s about our ability to continue to function as a free and independent people and to lead the world to a new and bright future – not to be a victim of our own inability to break this debilitating addiction.

Throughout its long and fascinating history, daylight saving time has had a remarkable impact on a wide variety of unexpected areas – from Middle East terrorism to feuding twin cities, voter turnout to time-change riots, radio stations to trick-or-treaters, and opera performances to manslaughter charges.
