Political Quotes

“Californians drive a lot, so when gas prices jump, we feel it first and the most. Back home, gas has jumped 26 cents in the last week and 57 cents since this time last year. We are paying on the average $4.30 a gallon. Our constituents need our help. They also understand the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I happen to drive a Nissan Leaf, an all-electric vehicle, which will be built right here in America in Tennessee in the near future.

And if given the opportunity, I think most Americans would jump at the chance to join me in driving right past those high gas prices and stop sending hundreds of billions of dollars to the Middle East. ``Drill, baby, drill'' won't lower gas prices today or tomorrow, but it will feed our addiction to dirty fossil fuels which are quickly running out. Let's work together to invest in infrastructure for electric vehicles to make them more affordable and convenient. We will create jobs, take hold of the economy of the future, and end our dependence on oil. ____________________”
