George Bush is off to Saudi Arabia to persuade the Saudis to increase oil production. Ninety six senators voted to stop filling the strategic reserves. This is all being done in the hopes that increases in the supply of oil will result in a price decrease at the pump.

George Will wrote in his Washington Post column that “Seventy-one of the 97 senators who voted to stop filling the reserve also oppose drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.” Will calls out Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) in particular.

Chuck Schumer believes
that 1 million more
barrels of oil per day
will decrease the price
of gasoline by $.50.

What book should these fine senators receive? Mr. Will recommends Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of ‘Energy Independence,’ by Robert Bryce.

George Will recommends
Gusher of Lies to
seventy-one of our
current senators.

So, if you want to influence the decisions congress is making with regard to your gasoline dollar, consider looking up one of these senators and sending them a copy via BookLobby.
