    Breaking Point?

    I would like to pose a question to EVERYONE.
    What is your "Breaking Point"?
    Our Goverments DEATH GRIP on drilling for our own oil?
    Our Goverments OVER TAXATION of every aspect of our lives?
    Our Goverments OPEN BORDER policy that is KILLING AMERICA?

    Gas price went up 20 cents overnight, it is now $ 4.05 a gallon.
    Considering we rank RIGHT ABOVE Mississippi in wages (49th), and we have some of the highest property taxes around, I am out of IDEAS, I am TIRED of yelling at DEAF EARS, and nearly in tears after reading the Drudge Report article saying $12 a gallon gas is on its way.

    10 minutes ago I paid $5.06 a gallon for diesel at my local Chevron. $30 gave me between 1/8 and 1/4 of a tank.

    For me there is no "breaking point"
    There is not a dammed thing we cannot change. The worse things get the
    easier our task. Pain brings change. Look at all the state and local laws
    reguarding illegal immigration that have been enacted!

    We have no real energy policy

    Foreign policy is a joke

    Congress and the president suck

    Big business calls all the shots

    Media is controlled

    What I will do for my tiny part

    1.find a newbie every week for Alipac

    2.make calls, send emails and faxes

    3.post articles on Alipac

    4. keep an open mind and support local pols where my impact will be felt

    remembering that I have lived Thu inflation.wars, job loss.and poverty

    this makes me an average American baby boomer who cares not about

    anything but family,God and country.

    The pimple of illegal immigration has turned into an abscess time, when the

    pain gets bad enough we will have a root canal

    I've already reached my breaking point when I traded in my nice roomy comfy SUV for an econo box that gets 40MPG.
    Last night I had a conversation with my husband about him getting a motorcycle to commute to work (13 miles round trip). He has an F350 diesel that I have a feeling is going to be sitting most of the time from now on....

    All of the above!! I graduated from college five months ago and I am still job searching. One good thing about being unemployed has been the fact that my eyes were finally opened up to what is really going on in our government. P.S.: Where can I go to have my wife change her party registration. She was PO'd that she couldn't vote for Ron Paul in the primary.

    I believe you can pick up a form at the post office.

    We say we've reached the breaking point, but we just keep rolling with the punches. There has to come a day, when enough of us can stand up and say "ENOUGH". As long as we're complacent, they'll keep throwing this blank at us. Personally speaking, they've got us, and they know it. How to break that chain is the question of the day.

    I think tencz57 is right. We should have been drilling a long time ago. It was cheaper to import oil, than to drill here at home. Our government fiddled while Rome burned, rather than preparing for a future, free from oil dependancy on other countries. I heard on Beck's show a couple weeks ago, in order to drill in Alaska, they would need to pull 1,000 permits ! THEY block us every inch of the way !

    My husband filled his tank the other night.......$98.00 ! He shook his head, got back in the truck, and we drove off to go have dinner. That's what I mean. What was our recourse ?
