There is no way I could vote to exchange getting oil from Putin for getting oil from some other tyrant who wants to destroy America, which makes this a rather cynical ploy, so I had to vote ``no'' on Suspending Energy Imports from Russia Act. It is time to make America energy independent again and stop the war on American seniors, Americans on fixed incomes, and those that have to keep maxing out their credit cards to buy gas just to get to work. I had to vote ``no'' on what is being referred to as the Russia bill. We have heard enough of the Biden administration lectures that Americans should basically eat cake in their brand new expensive electric cars. People who can't afford a tank of gas today can't afford $30,000 to $150,000 for a new electric car. This bill allowed the President to waive the provisions we voted on, so I voted ``no.'' ____________________
