Melancon (D TX 4) Does Ralph Hall represent your values?

(Thanks Glenn. We know you have been working very hard.   - promoted by admin)

Time and time again Ralph Hall tells voters that American soldiers will have to "fight a war and take some energy away from someone."  Does this represent your values?  It doesn't represent mine. I believe it's time to stop talking about stealing and to start investing in America.

My campaign has produced a short video using Hall's own words to expose his values.  Please circulate it to your family and friends.

We have twelve days left to spread the word and fight for change in Texas.   Donate today and help put this commercial on the air: https://secure.actblue.com/con...  

glenn melancon :: Melancon (D TX 4) Does Ralph Hall represent your values?
Our future depends upon a competitive energy market.  We can't rely on one product-oil-to drive our economy.  Here's what I propose.

  • Providing America consumers with a tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle to buy advanced alternative-fuel vehicles and up to $2,500 to retrofit existing vehicles with advanced alternative-fuel engines

  • Investing in public universities and research facilities to find less expensive consumer energy and conservation technologies

  • Permitting oil and gas exploration beyond a 50 mile buffer zone off the coast of Florida, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, if those states approve

  • Building a seamless mass transit system to serve all of North Texas
  • Consumers and commuters need choices, but Ralph Hall is leading the opposition to change. He is cynically exploiting our suffering at the gas pump as an excuse to represent big oil. Texas families need choices, not more of the same. Until Americans have a competitive energy market, we'll be paying extortion prices.
