&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHY:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Greatly reduce and stabilize gasoline prices (e.g. regular 87 octane close to $1.30 - $1.40/gal), utility bills, transportation/other energy costs, food prices.
&lt;li&gt;Also, improve USA sovereignty and solve other related national and world problems.
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHEN:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
April 1 or 2, 2008 - between 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHERE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Every office in home states of all 100 Senators and 435 Representatives, or in their Washington D.C. offices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHO:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Representatives of groups/organizations (with 100 or more voters) should visit these Senators&#039;/Representatives&#039; offices in person.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-textarea-10&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;form-item&quot;&gt;
 &lt;label&gt;Details:&lt;/label&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;HOW:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Demand a prompt written response to the following &lt;i&gt;urgent issues&lt;/i&gt; by USA Congress and the following legislative actions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UNCAP AND DRILL U.S.A. OIL WELLS:  By 4/17/2008 US Senate, and by 4/18/2008, US House, should pass a bill providing a &quot;price-support&quot; (tax credits, etc.) of $25 to $30/barrel of oil and $4.00/1,000 cu. ft. of natural gas; and that adds incentives to increase U.S. 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 $10.00/barrel in 1998.  President Bush should sign this bill by 4/21/2008, and it should require him to have his Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Bureau of Land Management on 4/22/2008 to start proper increased leases for oil/natural gas production on most or all of Federal Lands in several western states (e.g. Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico) and other USA states, especially on Gull Island and other parts of Alaska&#039;s North Slope Petroleum Reserve separately west of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).  One to three months after President Bush signs this bill, these actions should greatly start increasing our domestic oil/natural gas reproduction from private and federal the lands in these USA states and off-shore in Gulf of Mexico and USA West and Southeast Coast waters - ESPECIALLY from ALASKA&#039;S LONG-CAPPED Gull Island Well.  In a year or so. this should reduce our oil imports from 60% to 20% or so (most from Mexico) of our oil consumption, with NO IMPORTS from IRAQ MIDEAST/OPEC monopoly.  &lt;b&gt;Exports of Alaskan/Other USA oil and natural gas&lt;/b&gt; production should be prohibited.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/ngd/2008apr01&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Chuck Baldwin - The Worst Tragedy Of The Bush Presidency</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/289</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It gives me no pleasure to say that the George W. Bush presidency has been an absolute and dismal failure! In fact, the Bush II regime is worse than those of Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and even Bill Clinton. The only potential bright spot to his legacy might be a slight swing to the right to life by his two Supreme Court appointments. However, the verdict is still out on that. Take away Bush&#039;s Supreme Court picks, and there is nothing left but failure, frustration, fatigue, and futility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the domestic front, the Bush presidency leaves us with gargantuan growth of federal spending and meddling. Bush&#039;s obsession with spying on American citizens eclipses anything Nixon did or Clinton dreamed of doing. His Patriot Act is taken right out of the Nazi handbook, and his arrogance regarding constitutional accountability is unknown in America since at least the days of Abraham Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concerning foreign affairs, the Bush presidency will forever be linked to the failed and potentially fatal war in Iraq. I say fatal, because the ultimate results of Bush&#039;s obsession for war with Iraq are not yet fully realized. One thing is sure: our unconstitutional war in Iraq has created many more enemies than it has eliminated, and the overall impact on the morale of both our troops and the American citizenry rivals the effects of the Vietnam War and perhaps even surpasses them.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Ron Paul - The Price of Delaying the Inevitable in Iraq</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/263</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The growing demand by the American people for us to leave Iraq prompts the naysayers to predict disaster in the Middle East if we do. Of course, these merchants of fear are the same ones who predicted that invading and occupying Iraq would be a slam dunk operation; that we would be welcomed as liberators, and oil revenues would pay for the operation with minimal loss of American lives.&lt;/p&gt;

 <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;

 <title>Ron Paul - We Just Marched In (So We Can Just March Out)</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/278</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;All the reasons given to justify a preemptive strike against Iraq were wrong. Congress and the American people were misled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for the war came from various special interests that had agitated for an invasion of Iraq since 1998. The Iraq Liberation Act, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton, stated that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was official U.S. policy. This policy was carried out in 2003.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congress failed miserably in meeting its crucial obligations as the branch of government charged with deciding whether to declare war. It wrongly and unconstitutionally transferred this power to the president, and the president did not hesitate to use it.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Ron Paul - The Upcoming Iraq War Funding Bill</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/274</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The $124 billion supplemental appropriation is a good bill to oppose. I am pleased that many of my colleagues will join me in voting against this measure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If one is unhappy with our progress in Iraq after four years of war, voting to de-fund the war makes sense. If one is unhappy with the manner in which we went to war, without a constitutional declaration, voting no makes equally good sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Voting no also makes the legitimate point that the Constitution does not authorize Congress to direct the management of any military operation  the president clearly enjoys this authority as Commander in Chief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Congress just as clearly is responsible for making policy, by debating and declaring war, raising and equipping armies, funding military operations, and ending conflicts that do not serve our national interests.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;label&gt;Description:&lt;/label&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/system/files/NGD-20070109-01.pdf&quot;&gt;Printable PDF&lt;/a&gt;]&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;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Help Solve the Problems of Illegal Immigration, Terrorism, Jobs Exported/Outsourced, and other National and World 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;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;form-item&quot;&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;
