Ron Kind Brought You $4-a-gallon Gas!

Gas Prices Would be Under $2 Per Gallon If We Hadn't Invaded Iraq

"Democrat" Ron Kind Voted for the War - Fire Him!
 

Ron Kind is directly responsible for the price you're paying at the pump. He voted for it.

Ron Kind repeatedly voted for the Iraq war.  He has voted against setting a deadline to bring the troops home. He is personally responsible for destroying the US economy by burning FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS in Iraq.

As a Democrat, Ron Kind is supposed to be a member of the opposition party. But he has given the Bush league war criminals a blank check - and YOU are paying for it.

Please read the article below, from the respected British newspaper the Independent. Check out my plan to cut gas prices in half. Then contribute to my campaign, spread the word, and help me give Ron Kind his pink slip!

Oil: A Global Crisis

by Geoffrey Lean

The invasion of Iraq by Britain and the US has trebled the price of oil, according to a leading expert, costing the world a staggering $6 trillion in higher energy prices alone.

The oil economist Dr Mamdouh Salameh, who advises both the World Bank and the UN Industrial Development Organisation (Unido), told The Independent on Sunday that the price of oil would now be no more than $40 a barrel, less than a third of the record $135 a barrel reached last week, if it had not been for the Iraq war.

He spoke after oil prices set a new record on 13 consecutive days over the past two weeks. They have now multiplied sixfold since 2002, compared with the fourfold increase of the 1973 and 1974 “oil shock” that ended the world’s long postwar boom.

Goldman Sachs predicted last week that the price could rise to an unprecedented $200 a barrel over the next year, and the world is coming to terms with the idea that the age of cheap oil has ended, with far-reaching repercussions on their activities.

Dr Salameh, director of the UK-based Oil Market Consultancy Service, and an authority on Iraq’s oil, said it is the only one of the world’s biggest producing countries with enough reserves substantially to increase its flow....

[Full article here - it argues that we have passed "peak oil" and are heading into global economic chaos. But not all experts agree. In the articles below, F. William Engdahl argues that peak oil is a hoax, and that the prices we are paying at the pump have been engineered to maximize the profits of financiers and oil barons.]

Perhaps 60 percent of today’s oil price is pure speculation

by F. William Engdahl  5/8/2008

"The price of crude oil today is not made according to any traditional relation of supply to demand. It’s controlled by an elaborate financial market system as well as by the four major Anglo-American oil companies. As much as 60 percent of today’s crude oil price is pure speculation driven by large trader banks and hedge funds. It has nothing to do with the convenient myths of Peak Oil. It has to do with control of oil and its price. How?"

More on the real reason behind high oil prices

by F. William Engdahl 5/21/2008

"The hoax of Peak Oil—namely the argument that the oil production has hit the point where more than half all reserves have been used and the world is on the downslope of oil at cheap price and abundant quantity—has enabled this costly fraud to continue since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 with the help of key banks, oil traders and big oil majors."
