So much derangement to work with, but, uh, "for nearly 250 years" America has relied on oil, coal, and natural gas for their energy needs? That would be news to the Founders. Coal isn't used much until after the Civil War. Substantial use of oil and natural gas only goes back 100 years.

If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you *really* need to contact all of your congressional reps.
These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.
