Press Releases › McClintock Ad Takes Aim at Energy Costs
Tom McClintock’s campaign for Congress released a new television advertisement addressing the nation’s need for an energy policy that opens the way for more American oil production. Here is the script for the ad:
Hi, I’m Tom McClintock.
Liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Charlie Brown want to continue the federal laws that prevent us from tapping America’s vast oil resources. Folks, that’s how we got into this mess—and why gasoline prices are now breaking our family budgets.
America has nearly a trillion barrels of recoverable oil—more than three times that of Saudi Arabia—that Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Charlie Brown won’t even let us touch.
In fact, more than 94 percent of our territory remains off-limits because of this foolish prohibition. If we want to change this policy, we’ve got to change this Congress.
That’s where the real energy crisis is—where politicians sit on their hands while we pay at the pump. We don’t need government bureaucracies and higher taxes to fund them—we need to get government out of the way and open American oil to American production RIGHT NOW!
This November, we can take back America’s independence. I’m Tom McClintock, and I approve this message.
ANNOUNCER: Paid for by McClintock for Congress.
The ad t is McClintock’s first television spot to run in the general election. To watch the ad visit www.tommclintock.com
