SUPPORT THE PETERSON AMENDMENT TO INCREASE
|
The Peterson amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill would modify the 27-year old Congressional Moratorium preventing responsible, environmentally friendly, offshore oil and natural gas exploration. As a result of the congressional decree, it is currently illegal to produce American oil and natural gas on 85% of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). By harvesting this offshore energy, the price at the pump will stabilize and eventually decline. Contact your Representative and Senators and demand that they support responsible offshore energy production. Below is a compilation of recent media attention and links to Speaker Pelosi's Office and to House Appropriations Committee Members. Contact Speaker Pelosi and the Appropriations Committee and demand that the Interior Appropriations bill be scheduled for consideration. Thanks for your continued support,

Welcome to the online home of the Fifth Congressional District of Pennsylvania. As a representative and lifelong resident of one of the nation’s most rural districts, I’m singularly committed to finding answers to issues that matter most to rural Americans – availability of reliable health care services, access to quality education, the retention and creation of good-paying jobs, and the development of a reasonable national energy strategy that allows small American manufacturers to compete in the global marketplace with their international competitors. As always, I want to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me by phone or via e-mail to make sure your opinion is heard. Thank you again for visiting my website. I very much hope you will find occasion to come back soon. |
