Gosh, do something

The letter of July 2 by Mr. Peter Trabant of Hot Springs Village should be a wake-up call for all of us. l had heard before that Congress changed the law so that petroleum produced in America could be sold on the world market. What I didn’t hear is that the United States is still actively buying oil on the world market just like before. Something stinks.

Mr. Trabant has done us a great service by exposing this. I suggest that everyone start contacting their senators and congressmen and demanding answers. And a tweet to Mr. Trump wouldn’t hurt. He likes tweets.

It would be interesting to learn just how and why we as a nation are buying oil for gasoline while at the same time selling oil we have produced in America and possibly Canada. The answer had better be good. I’m not online but that is the best and fastest way to deal with this.

Mr. Trabant, we are indebted to you; thank you! To everyone else, contact your congressional representatives and senators and demand answers. And don’t wait. This is most important. An investigation by an outside group like Judicial Watch or a similar group could get to the bottom of this, the sooner the better.
