Debbie Holmes: Simpson's oil stand

Last week, Mike Simpson voted against H.R. 6251, The Responsible Federal Oil and Gas Lease Act, which discouraged oil and gas companies from buying leases in areas that they had no intention of utilizing. This is yet another sign that Mike Simpson is more interested in sustaining the status quo of the energy economy than fixing a system which is hurting his constituents. Tell Mike Simpson that you want a representative who will work for an energy plan that helps the American public, not a congressman who feels we should stay in the oil economy for another 50 years.
