HOW:

    Individuals:
    Preferably, FAX this NGD page to these offices or phone the essence of NGD to them. Emphasize the Following URGENT Issues to all offices and demand a written response.

    1. UNCAP AND DRILL U.S. OIL WELLS
      By 1/23/2007 US Senate and by 2/06/2007 US House should pass a bill, added to HR-6 Energy Legislation of 2005, and HR 4761 that provides a "price-support" (tax credits, etc) of $23-25.00/barrel of oil and $3.00/1000 cu. ft. of natural gas; and that adds incentives to increase USA oil refinery capacity. This would prevent OPEC monopoly (Cartel) from dropping its prices below these price supports to stop or greatly reduce U.S. domestic oil/natural gas production, as it did at $10/barrel in 1998.

      President Bush should sign this bill by 2/09/2007, and it should require him to have his Departments of Interior & Agriculture & the Bureau of Land Management to promptly start properly and increasingly issuing leases for oil/natural gas production on Federal Lands in several western (e.g. Montana and Wyoming) and other USA States (especially on Gull Island and other parts of Alaska's North Slope Petroleum Reserve separately west of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)).

      These actions should greatly start increasing our domestic oil/gas production in 2 months or so after President Bush signs this bill (especially from Alaska's long-capped Gull Island Well) and in a year or so reduce our oil imports from 60% to 20% or so (most from Mexico) of our oil consumption with No Imports from Iraq/Mid-East/OPEC monopoly. Exports of Alaskan/Other USA Oil and Natural Gas production should be prohibited.

      U.S. Congress and Private Section Group should soon (1/12/2007 to 1/16/2007) go to Alaska's Prudhoe Bay area to physically prove whether there is a capped (unused) --- not a plugged (drained) --- Gull Island oil well there, and capped/mapped oil wells in the other aforementioned USA States.

    2. SUPPORT PL 480 Title I LOCAL CURRENCY SALES, including a mutually beneficial trade deal with Mexico involving these P.S. 480 exports of U.S. agricultural products to Mexico and increased oil imports from Mexico (under Absolute Advantage Trade Policy instead of the current Comparative Advantage Free Trade Policy) for most of the 20% of our imports.

      Tell your Congress-persons to add $5 billion to $10 billion in FY 2007 for this PL Title I 480 program with Mexico on concessional loan of pesos to Mexican Government for infrastructure/other economic development. Also, tell U.S. Congress-persons to improve U.S. true, active, crop-producing family farmer's price support program especially by adding Parity Support Prices.

      A major result of this trade deal and revised trade policy (i.e.: Absolute Advantage) with Mexico would eliminate its "Macquiladora" exports to the U.S.A. and economically force it to greatly improve economic/political conditions for nearly all citizens in Mexico and stop our open border/illegal immigration problems. This would also include the willful return of the many million illegal immigrants now in the U.S.A. to proper, good-paying infrastructure/other economic development work in Mexico. This would also keep Mexican truckers transporting goods only within Mexico. It would also cancel the NAFTA Super Highway and "Smart Port" Mexican Customs Office in Kansas City, MO, and prevent combining Mexico, U.S.A., and Canada into one country.

    3. In FY (Fiscal Year) 2005 this PL 480 program should also be applied to numerous Latin American Asian and African countries
    4. Ask your Federal and State Senators and Representatives, and your Governor, what they did about getting a paper ballot voting system (in place of the machine/computer systems) for legitimate, accurate voting systems nationwide for the November 2006 election voting.
    5. Tell Congress to Vote Against FTAA-Type Trade Agreements with any Country; and Legislate an Absolute Advantage Trade Policy, which means that an importing country imports only complementary, not supplementary, products (in most practicable finished form) that it cannot reasonably produce itself. E.g.: U.S.A. would import finished-form tropical agricultural products and export finished-form temperate agricultural products. This would stop U.S.A. imports from Mexico's Maquiladora Zone and solve the disastrous U.S.A. trade deficit and foreign debt. Also, it would return most or all of the many million good jobs exported/outsourced over the past 35-45 years; and help solve other problems under WHY above.

    All Eligible Voters:

    • Get active NOW per WHO/HOW (above)! These accomplishments will buy the time (5-10 or more years) to then develop wide-spread alternative energy/sources, (wind, solar, ethanol, etc.) and better energy conservation; it will also buy time to solve the other problems under WHY above. These accomplishments will also prevent a future economic (e.g. excessive gasoline, heating and other energy prices) disaster and the related terrible human sufferings, such as when the Katrina hurricane hit Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
