The American Petroleum Institute is planning to launch a major "educational advocacy" program in January 2007 to broaden efforts directed at public policy experts, regulatory officials, and other influential individuals starting in January 2007.

4. The Dems had better send them packing.........

before they get word one out of their mouths. 'Big Oil' has already had it's say in our country's energy policy, now it's time for some REAL legislators to investigate and separate the facts from the bullshit.

Fuck off, Big Oil. :grr:
