Energy independence is essential for the survival of the planet and this country. We need to stop passing it on from generation to generation. I like the concept of a Manhattan like project to make this happen. It will create jobs, solve the problem and reduce our dependence on non-renewable sources. The plan must be comprehensive in breadth and depth.

Mr. Pickens, I am confused. You say you have asked each president for the last 30 years about alternative energy and kicking our foreign oil addiction; Did it ever occur to you that you have actively supported all the wrong guys for president? Take the last 8 years, you monetarily supported the swift boating of John Kerry in 2004 and I don’t believe Al Gore was behind the curve the subject of Global Warming and the dire need in kicking the fossil fuel addiction as you supported George W. Bush for President in 2000. It appears to me that you have been supporting and asking all the wrong guys for president! Here it is 2008, and you are paling around with Sarah Palin, who is another candidate who is not fit to lead on this either as she does not believe in Global Warming. The only thing she stands for is “pro-life” which is an oxymoron.

I’m for lower taxes and smaller government, because lower taxes are better for families, property owners, and small businesses. With lower taxes, businesses have more money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate, promotes economic growth, and reduces unemployment. And if we limit the scope of the federal government in accordance with the constitution, we decrease spending and reducing taxes, increasing our liberty in several ways: (1) Liberty is increased when government is reduced to its essential and necessary functions, because there is no longer a role for lobbyists fighting to increase pork for their favorite non-essential, unnecessary programs. (2) Liberty is increased when more government functions and decisions are handled at the state and local levels, closer to the American people. (3) Liberty is increased when individual citizens have more responsibility and when government has less control. (4) Limited government leads to lower taxes, and with lower taxes, liberty is increased because businesses have more of their own money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate and promotes job growth. (5) Limited government leads to lower taxes, which is better for families and property owners. With lower taxes, liberty is increased because individuals and families have more of their own money - increased take-home pay - for their needs: food, clothing, housing, education, health insurance, and retirement. (6) When people are able to provide for themselves, they are more likely to achieve prosperity and less dependent on government programs. In turn, this leads to further reduction in government spending, allowing the remaining money to be targeted to legitimate needs, such as military veterans, orphans, and people with severe disabilities. The McCain-Palin Campaign and the rest of our ticket for reform are ready to serve our country. With your help and support, we can make this happen on November 4th.
