"First we had to beat Vice President Algore;
Now we have to beat President Algae"

For Decades, Americans Have
Proudly "Put a Tiger in Their Tank."

Now Obama Wants You to
Fill Up on Pond Scum Instead!

Help Us Defeat the President's
Own 9-9-9 Plan...$9.99-a-Gallon!

Dear Fellow Conservative,

It's extremely difficult for the average American to come to grips with a dollar figure such as our $14,000,000,000,000.00 (fourteen trillion!) debt.

I mean, we haven't seen that many zeroes since President Obama's cabinet was sworn in!

But $5.00 for a gallon of gas? Oh, yeah...we can wrap our heads around THAT!

  • Every time we go to the grocery store.
  • Every time we take the kids to Little League.
  • Every time we go to church.
  • Every time we fill up the tank at the ol' algae farm.

Algae farm?

What? You mean you haven't heard?

Um, you might want to sit down for this one.

Last week, Newt Gingrich laid out a comprehensive plan to dramatically expand our domestic energy exploration â€" including more domestic drilling, construction of the Keystone pipeline and further expansion of natural gas exploration â€" all in an effort to bring the cost of a gallon of gas back down to under $2.50 a gallon.

This, Newt said, would "enable the American people to develop so much energy that we no longer have to care what the Iranians do in the Straits of Hormuz."

"We'll put Americans back to work," Newt further explained, "keep American money here at home and strengthen the dollar. And we'll have an entirely new stream of revenues (oil and gas royalties) to the treasury and we'll balance the budget without raising taxes."

Now, to Barack Obama this is pretty radical stuff...and let's face it, Barack Obama's a guy who knows "radical"!

So in response to Newt's proposal, the President went to Miami (it's lovely this time of year!) and did what he does best — deliver a speech.

"Now some politicians," Obama said, clearly referencing Newt, "(are) already dusting off their three-point plan for $2 gas. And I'll save you the suspense. Step one is to drill. And step two is to drill. And then step three is to keep drilling."

Well, um ...yeah. That'd be a pretty good start, right?

Not if you're Barack Obama ...and your vision of the future of this country is $9-a-gallon gas and everybody riding around in a hybrid car the size of a golf cart.

So if drilling and expanding our domestic energy resources isn't the answer, what is, Mr. President?

"We're making new investments in the development of gasoline and diesel fuel and jet fuel that's actually made from a plant-like substance ...algae."

You read that right. Rather than reopening drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama wants to start fueling Air Force One with pond scum!

"If we can figure out how to make energy out of that," the President continued, "we'll be doing all right. Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17% of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel we can grow right here in the United States."

I've heard about "green" energy, but this is ridiculous.

Anyway, two days after Obama's "Pond Scum" speech, Newt responded:

"After I came out for a program to get to $2.50-a-gallon gasoline," Newt said, "Obama decided he had to make a speech on energy. It was a very revealing speech. It was factually false, intellectually incoherent, deeply conflicted on policy ...and in some places, just strange."

"What are the odds that you're going to ramp up to a commercial-price gasoline from algae in the foreseeable future?" Newt continued. "Not very good."

"What are the odds that if you allow people to drill and allow people to build refineries, you could get dramatically less expensive gas in the foreseeable future?" he continued. "Really, really high."

There's more ...a lot more ...to this to-and-fro/back-and-forth energy debate between the former House Speaker and the former community organizer, but that's not the point I want to make here. The point is ...

Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who can take this fight directly to Barack Obama.

He's the only one ready, willing and able to get right in Barack Obama's face.

He's the one candidate who can "bring it."

You know it.

I know it.

And Barack Obama knows it.

But first ...Newt has to win the Republican nomination!

And the only people more afraid of a Gingrich presidency than the Obama administration is ...the Republican Party establishment.

The same Republican Party establishment that gave us Gerald Ford, Bob Dole and John McCain.

So l need your help to help Newt. And let me put it this way ...

Let's say right now your car needs 10 gallons of gas to fill it up.

If Barack Obama is re-elected president, that's gonna cost you $50 (at $5.00-a-gallon) ...plus the additional expense of buying a new Acme Pond Scum Skimmer for your gas tank.

But if Newt is elected president, that same 10 gallons of gas will cost you $25 (at $2.50 a gallon). And it'll come from good, old-fashioned American oil â€" no pond scum skimmer needed!

So do yourself a favor right now and PLEASE go to Winning Our Future PAC and invest $25 towards our efforts to nominate Newt Gingrich.

DONATE NOW

If we're lucky, you'll get your $25 back when you fill up your gas tank shortly after Newt's inauguration next January!

And of course, if you can donate a couple tanks of gas ...$50 worth ...$75 ...or even $100 ...again, you could get it back in the long run.

Either that ...or start building an algae pond in your back yard!

Sincerely yours,

Becky Burkett
President
Winning Our Future PAC

P.S. In case you missed it, President Obama's Anti-Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, told Congress this week that his "overall goal" was NOT to lower the price of gasoline for American families and businesses.

Please help us nominate a Republican candidate whose overall goal WILL be to lower gas prices — Newt Gingrich. Click here NOW to help us defeat "President Algae."
