US must shift cars and trucks off of oil

Obama says US must shift cars and trucks off of oil

Light Speed PC

If you are like most of us, there has been a time or two when your computer just stopped working well. It slowed down, refused to properly start up or shut down properly, and just lost its high performance function. You probably thought that it was time for either a costly repair from a computer technician or to just buy a new one; but in so many cases, all you need is a tune up! Tune ups can-in many cases-clean up junk files, end computer freeze, and optimize a slowed pc at a much quicker pace and less expensive cost; and here’s why.

How we shift America off oil

How we shift America off oil

America's auto industry is in the midst of a change for the better. Right now, car dealers are offering customers twice as many hybrids as they were five years ago and seven times as many cars that can go 40 miles or more on a gallon of gas. Last year, General Motors sold more hybrid cars than ever before and Ford is working hard to keep up with demand for its fuel-efficient vehicles.

That trend is a key example of how innovation helps to drive business success -- and creates jobs for the middle class in America. But it's one thing to make a car more fuel efficient. It's another thing altogether to move cars and trucks off oil entirely.

And that's the next step. Here's how President Obama is proposing to get us there:

At a time when the sequester is forcing laboratories and science facilities across the country to scale back on their work, we need to keep investing in research.  Because if we can meet this goal, the benefits are clear. We'll help diminish the burden of spiking gas prices. We'll reduce our reliance on foreign oil. And most importantly, the kind of technological breakthroughs the Energy Security Trust will work to produce won't just create jobs -- they could create whole new industries.

So if you think the Energy Security Trust is a good idea, will you share this graphic?

Rep. Matsui will appreciate this

Donna --

The middle class got hit last Friday, and it didn't have to happen.

Congress failed to compromise -- with some Republicans insisting on protecting tax loopholes for the wealthiest Americans (seriously). Because of it, a series of devastating budget cuts known as the sequester are now in effect.

Americans across the country are feeling the consequences, from teachers to air traffic controllers to parents with kids in Head Start. We're talking about funding for our local fire departments and programs that feed our seniors.

This isn't a game -- and Congress needs to hear it from the people they represent. They can put an end to these cuts right now.

Here's a quick and simple action that you can take right now to send a message that members of Congress -- and everyone else -- can't ignore.

Tweet at Rep. Matsui right now and say you're standing with her in fighting for a balanced approach to the budget, not drastic cuts.

Tweet Now Link:

The last time OFA supporters did this, demanding action from lawmakers on gun violence, it got Washington's attention.

Representatives responded with their own tweets of support. News outlets noticed, and reported about it. And thousands of folks who might not have otherwise spoken up got off the sidelines and raised their voices, as well.

Let's keep it up.

Congress can put an end to these disastrous budget cuts at any time -- but they need to feel the pressure to come to the table and find a common-sense solution.

Make your voice heard right now -- send a tweet to your representative and tell them to keep fighting for a balanced plan today:
