 <title>Press Release - Reform Party USA Endorses Summer-Long Gas Boycott</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/260</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The Reform of the United States of America, through its National Committee, sponsors and endorses a symbolic Summer National Gas Boycott, extending through Aug. 31, 2007  and asks all who are alarmed by the unprecedented gas prices and gas price increases which appear to have little relation to crude oil prices, to join the Reform Party of the United States of America (&quot;RPUSA&quot;) and participate in this Summer expression of public outrage by boycotting all gasoline purchases from all major oil companies and purchasing only from independent or locally owned gas stations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A public press release notice of the endorsement of this Summer 2007 gas boycott is authorized and directed by the RPUSA National Committee for immediate media distribution, e-mail reflector, and website publication by the RPUSA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All other responsible RPUSA Committees are discharged of this matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHY:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Greatly Reduce and Stabilize Gasoline Prices, Utility Bills, Transportation Costs, etc.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Solve Trade/Budget Deficits and Credit Card Debt Problems.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHEN:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Jan. 9th or 10th - Between 11:00 am - 2:00 pm.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHERE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
Every office in home states of all 100 Senators and 435 Representatives, or their Washington, DC offices&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;form-item&quot;&gt;
 &lt;label&gt;Event Web-Site:&lt;/label&gt;
 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/ngd/2007jan09&quot;&gt;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/ngd/2007jan09&lt;/a&gt;

 &lt;label&gt;Details:&lt;/label&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;HOW:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
Individuals:&lt;br /&gt;
Preferably, FAX this NGD page to these offices or phone the essence of NGD to them.  &lt;b&gt;Emphasize the Following URGENT Issues&lt;/b&gt; to all offices and demand a written response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;UNCAP AND DRILL U.S. OIL WELLS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
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 &quot;price-support&quot; (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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

 <title>Topic: Chuck Harder: Witness to the Success of the American Dream and its Engineered Demise</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/topics/people/chuckharder</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The following was taken from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forthepeople.org/interest.htm&quot; target=&quot;vk_user&quot;&gt;Chuck Harder&#039;s Biography Page&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forthepeople.org/&quot; target=&quot;vk_user&quot;&gt;Chuck Harder&lt;/a&gt; began his radio career during high-school as a teen-age disc-jockey at WRMN, Elgin, Illinois and other local stations.  Later he moved to Chicago at Gorden McLendon&#039;s famous WYNR 1390 AM top-40 outlet, then moved into national radio and TV production.  Later in 1979 Chuck started in talk-radio at WPLP and WNSI in Tampa Bay, Florida and then moved to WFLA, Tampa then WMCA, New York and NBC Talknet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Most of Harder&#039;s shows contained calls from consumers relating to financial problems or trouble with products, government bureaus, and so forth.  Soon Chuck became disillusioned with what he called the &quot;velvet hammer&quot; of corporate-media program directors that advised as to what were &quot;taboo topics.&quot;   Determined to tell listeners what he found to be accurate, Chuck soon turned to syndicating his broadcast nationwide by satellite under the umbrella of a non-profit organization.  Chuck and wife Dianne then loaned their life-savings to start Peoples Network, Inc. and built the first studios in their Tampa garage, later buying an old hotel in White Springs with down-payment and original fix-up funds loaned by the Harder&#039;s from personal savings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;His guests have included Ross Perot, James Earl Jones, Pat Buchanan, Representative Marcy Kaptur, Sir James Goldsmith, Hal Lindsey, William Greider, Ralph Nader, Gerry Spence, Father Malachi Martin, Alveda King, and many hundreds of others over 8,580 hours of national broadcasts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forthepeople.org/forthepeople.htm&quot; target=&quot;vk_user&quot;&gt;Chuck&#039;s show&lt;/a&gt; is on nationally via four satellite channels from 2-4 PM Eastern and syndicated jointly by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.talkstarradio.com/hosts/chuckpage.htm&quot; target=&quot;vk_user&quot;&gt;Talk Star Radio Network&lt;/a&gt; and PNI.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
