[MyTuneBD.Com] A Letter to Congress Against the Car & Big OIL!

A Letter to Congress Against the Car & Big OIL!

I am writing to say that you have failed your constituents and the generations to come. You have failed us because of your inability to identify and correct what will be known as the most devastating creation of our time. I am not referring to the atomic bomb, guns, drugs or alcohol; I am referring to the gasoline-guzzling automobile, which aside from war, has killed and injured more people than any other man-made creation.

With all of the technological advancements we have made in the last 100 years, I find it hard to believe that we have been unable to improve the fuel efficiency, safety and emissions of these vehicles. It is because of this that I have come to the conclusion that the issue is not that we cannot make the automobile more efficient, but that we simply choose not to because that is what is most profitable.

Despite the fact that automobiles spew carbon dioxide, a known greenhouse gas, and carbon monoxide, which can kill a man within minutes; despite the fact that our country is so dependent on foreign oil that it has become a national security issue, you have chosen to side with profits rather than with people and life. For these reasons I say you have failed us. Because of your failure, I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands, forced to take drastic measures to protect my family, future generations, the planet, and myself.

When I look at the automobile, I see gross profiteering by the Oil industry, the carmakers, the insurance companies, the media, and the Government, all at the expense of everyone else. I see the destruction the automobile is causing and I am left with little choice but to say NO MORE. I, Gary Isse, have sold my car and vow not to purchase another until there is a viable and affordable zero emissions vehicle available here in Los Angeles for me to purchase. I will not give any more of my hard-earned money to BIG OIL, to international terrorists and to those whose pockets you are in.

Sincerely,

Gary A. Isse
