It is unfortunate at the time that our countries leadership is dwindling.  Time is running out.  I respect our president for all the good he has done, but a new plan for Iraq and our Oil problem must be put forth to keep our country together.  The oil tyrants in the middle-east and here in the US must account for what they are doing, or they are going to bleed us dry this winter.  I say stand up, and be counted.  

If you think that times are hard now, just wait until this winter especially if you use oil for heating.  I use gas for heating and anticipate the huge heating bills.  The best advice I have is not to spend beyond your means.  Don’t use those credit cards, because they will just put you deeper in debt.  I’m not suggesting not spending any money this holiday season, but only spend what is necessary.  

If you have a grand idea to conserve energy, then call you senator or member of Congress.  Let them know that you care and that you hold them accountable for their actions.  We vote for these people and respect them, but we never question them are let them know we care about our country.  When this country was founded, everyone cared about our country and one another.  Now, most people are so self-absorbed that they only care about themselves.  What has happened to our great country?  

I love this country just as much as the next man or woman, but we must stand up and be counted to make a change.  What is your opinion?
