People in this country want their energy prices to go down, and they want them to go down now. You are not doing anything, and a lot of you guys are my friends, but I am going to tell you right now, this is going to be one of the major issues if not the major issue in this fall's campaign. I talk about immigration and everything else. This dwarfs immigration and all of the other issues we talk about because it is hitting people right where they live in their pocketbook and we must not be controlled by the lobbyists around here that are concerned about the environment. There has to be some balance between the economy and the environment in this country, and you guys need to do something about the price of gasoline. You're the ones who are holding it up.
