I wrote this in response to the following article...

I hope she does and the every other political person does. Maybe then and only then will they do something in a common sense fation without the political insanity in a way that American can afford without lawyers and other money wasters involved.

I want a commitment to energy independence and common sense in a way that is affordable.

For my part unlike most political idiots I am tring starting with my own home.

Give me more ideas and options and keep the government out of my wallet.

I have reduce my own CO levels far better then the folks in DC and helped those around me do so while helping them keep thier money, unlike most congress' moves and plans.

If you show Americans how then can save money from day one (I have done it) they will do far better then congress and in parallel reward businesses that do well in this area then we will make far more progress then any more taxes (for example incent the promotion of telecommuting not offshoring). Also make sure any plan does not encourage companies from moving work overseas to reduce thier domestic consumption.

Just an idea congress.
