AFF Releases 7 Point "America First Energy Agenda"
Des Moines, IA - American Future Fund (AFF), today released a seven point "America First Energy Agenda" which calls on the U.S. Congress to schedule a vote now to act on real, long-term energy solutions that address our national energy challenges.
AFF believes that "Enough is enough." We must immediately pursue a broad, long-term domestic energy plan that forever relieves our dependence on oil from foreign dictators. We must act right here, right now and look to America first.
The "America First Energy Agenda" is running in conjunction with the 'YouTube Sensation' radio ad airing in Nevada and Washington, DC, which calls on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to explore domestic sources of energy, including allowing for offshore drilling and exploration of oil shale.
In addition to offshore drilling and the exploration of oil shale, AFF is calling on Congress to act on wide ranging comprehensive solutions including drilling in ANWR, the development of domestic nuclear energy, alternative fuels, wind energy, and building new refineries for the first time in 32 years.
AFF President, Nicole Schlinger states, "At a time when America imports nearly 75% of its oil from foreign countries and consumers are paying over $4 per gallon, it's time to act right here, right now, and end our dependence on oil from foreign dictators." Schlinger continued, "America has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia and still Congress is blocking the exploration of domestic resources. America can-t afford band-aid solutions any longer."
