Army:

The U.S. House and Senate are heading home next week for the Independence Day holiday. That’s good. They need to hear from the folks back home and there’s nothing like a 4th of July picnic to talk about what’s on your mind.

I hope you will attend an Independence Day celebration and I hope your Member of Congress or Senator will be there.

We need to use next week to help our elected leaders understand how seriously we take our need to achieve the independence from OPEC oil that we’ve so long been promised by Washington.

We believe we are close to getting something done in Congress that would deal with the final portions of the Pickens Plan – using domestic natural gas as a substitute transportation fuel for imported diesel, particularly in fleets and heavy duty trucks. We need to finish that job by getting the language in the NAT GAS Act passed by Congress..

Let’s make this Independence Day 2010 as important as the first one in 1776!
