CALL ON OUR NATION\'s MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCES. My family came to the colonies in the 1740\'s and fought in all the wars. They were PA Germans. One of my great great grandfather was born in the same town as Roebling and came here same time in the 1850\'s....he was a Corporal in the Civil war and a blacksmith and wire rope splicer. Many of my relatives in PA and IL were inventors. During the 1890\'s the nation was looking for an automatic coupler for raillroad cars. Another great great grandfather from the Lehigh Valley has a patent for his coupler entered into the competition. Birdseye won a competition for safe canning process during the war so we could safely feed the troops. A National competition was used for creating syththetic rubber. My mother\'s generation saved pennies to build the base of the Statue of Liberty. Call us and we will serve. Don\'t give money to auto industry...the writing was on the wall when first VW came ashore. Create a Detroit Project. Take those factories away from the big 3. Fill them with the unemployed auto workers or any American workers. School children\'s science fairs have better ideas than the fossil fuel burning \"fossils\". Do not bail them out. Use the govt. resources to house the unemployed Electrical and Mechanial engineers where the factories are. Create a national competition. The first car invented from my family was in 1902 it ran on steam and was manufactured in Cherryville PA. My Uncle an electrical and mechanical engineer developed a car battery during our first oil crisis in the late 1960\'s and 1970\'s. He is not alone. I am sick and tired of the oil people and auto makers the pooh poohing alternative energys. We are not a stupid people. Tell Obama we need a plan. We are a community of hard working people. The American people can do this if they cooperate with a plan. Lois Frantz from Bethlehem PA. WE NEED A PLAN. CALL ON OUR NATION\’s MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCES.

Who\'s going to go and get that money? When are they going to go get Joe some US Wind Power domestic energy dollars that he can take to the bank?

When are they going to go get Joe some US Wind Power domestic energy dollars that he can take to the bank?
