I had been contacted by several of my constituents... the American people were doing everything that they could... to let us know, Members of Congress, the people who are sworn to take action to help our constituents... But there was no way for them to know how we felt about reducing the price of gas because under the new majority, we will never have an opportunity to vote on these things... I tried to come up with something as simple as possible because I believe in simplicity and people can understand the simplicity. So I came up with my own petition, Mr. Speaker.
