Remember I wrote that rant/email to Ah-nolt? Here’s what I got. This crap doesn’t address oil prices at all -  watch:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me about offshore oil drilling.  I always value hearing the thoughts of my fellow Cah-lee-fo-ne-ahns.

Cah-lee-fo-ne-ah's coastline is an international treasure, and since taking office, my commitment to its preservation has been unwavering.  I do not support lifting the moratorium on new oil drilling off our coast, but I do welcome discussion about how to lower the cost of gasoline.

Soaring prices are taking a toll on not only California families, but all American families. However, we are in this situation because of our dependence on traditional petroleum-based oil.

The direction our nation needs to go - and where California is already headed - is toward greater innovation in new technologies and new fuel choices for consumers.  That is how we will ultimately reduce fuel costs and also protect our environment.

Again, thank you for writing and adding your voice to this important issue.

Sincerely, Ah-nolt Schwollenpecker
