Get off your gas...    

posted by Bill @ 8:48 AM

Get Off Your Gas!If the best you've done for America's addiction to foreign oil and high gas prices is to whine and complain, how about adopting a PERSONAL energy policy. Slap this sticker on your car near your gas tank as a reminder to you and others that how much you drive and what kind of mileage you get have an impact and that there are alternative fuel possibilities that need to be pursued.


Be a pump patriot - grab a sticker and check out the message of FOIL, the Foreign Oil Independence League.

WatchBlog - 2004 U.S. Election News & Opinions    

posted by Kathi @ 7:28 AM
WatchBlog is a multiple-editor weblog broken up into three major political affiliations, each with its own blog: the Democrats, the Republicans, and the Third Party (covering everything outside the two major parties).
Why? Let's face it, politics is confusing. Sometimes it's difficult to know who to believe, who to listen to and who to support. We're here to help. Posting on a regular basis are editors representing each major party. Stay informed.
