| April 22, 2008 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-132, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: Two years ago this week, you stated that House Democrats had a “commonsense plan” to “lower gas prices.” In light of the skyrocketing gasoline prices affecting working families and every sector of our struggling economy, we are writing today to respectfully request that you reveal this “commonsense plan” so we can begin work on responsible solutions to help ease this strain. Today, the national average for regular unleaded now stands at $3.51 per gallon, according to AAA, which is $1.18 higher than it was at the start of the 110th Congress – a more than 50 percent increase. In fact, gas prices rose more in the last 15 months than they did in the six years prior to Democrats taking control of both Houses of Congress in January 2007. In the midst of a slowing economy, falling home values and soaring costs of living, this is a heavy premium for working families to bear. Americans, particularly those in suburban and rural communities, are paying more simply to commute to work each day. America’s truckers, faced with the prospect of paying $1,200 to fill up a tank that just a few years ago cost $600, must now consider taking less work or going out of business altogether. We have seen reports of school districts where filling up buses is already costing as much as $70,000 more than originally budgeted. Once a nightmare scenario, $4 gasoline is now a very real possibility of becoming a summer staple. In some cities, including San Francisco and Chicago, it is already a startling reality. We noted with great interest, then, that on several occasions you have announced the existence of a Democratic plan to lower gas prices. In fact, it was two years ago this week, on April 24, 2006, when you pledged that “Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices.” Just two weeks after that, you stated that Democrats had “real solutions” that would “lower the price at the pump.” Yet 15 months into the 110th Congress, you have yet to reveal this “commonsense plan.” House Republicans stand ready to work with you and our Democratic colleagues in a bipartisan fashion to address America’s energy crisis. As part of that effort, we respectfully request that you reveal the “commonsense plan” to lower gas prices you promised two years ago. The ability to fully consider its provisions, details and costs – including any proposed new taxes on gasoline or energy as we have seen in the past – is critical if we are to effectively serve our constituents facing ever-increasing prices at the pump. We appreciate your timely reply to this request. Sincerely, John Boehner Republican Leader Roy Blunt Republican Whip Adam Putnam Conference Chairman Thaddeus McCotter Policy Committee Chairman Kay Granger Conference Vice-Chair John Carter Conference Secretary Tom Cole Chairman, National Republican Congressional Committee Eric Cantor Chief Deputy Whip David Dreier Rules Committee Ranking Republican |

| 379, Her plan is part of a larger picture. She intends to seize the oil companies. And ALL Social Security payments and checks. Then issue us Social Gas cards, with a $200 a month limit. Anyone who can do so, will be allowed to trade gas for food. Under this "new" management. Top Salaries will be based on performance. The Energy Sec. will only be allowed to take 1% of total "gross" sales, as his/her yearly salary. Others will be paid minimum wage, to reduce expenses. Little people do not need as much gas as they think.

| Pelosi Premium The "commonsense plan" is to make the cost of alternative energy more economically sound so that the Dems support of tree-huggers can be fully embraced. By supporting, if not encouraging, the rapid increase in gas prices, it causes those who previously saw no financial benefit to converting to alernative sources to take another look.
