It is time for the people to tell Washington how to run this country!
Rather than allowing them to run roughshod over those that elected them.
It’s your country, tell them how you want it run!
We need to tell Senator Patty Murray – Do not levy new taxes on oil and
natural gas companies. Adding even more taxes serves only to hamper job
growth, chill capital investment, and harm energy security and national
security. Increased taxes aren’t the answer – less spending
is.
Call
Senator Murray at (866) 481-9186 to make your voice
heard!
Our families
deserve a future that is not laden with crushing taxes so we have an opportunity
to succeed. Washington should address the real problem of
spending.
Here in Washington State, we have five major
refineries that support a total of 30,000 jobs, generate $1.7 billion in
personal income and annually pay roughly $150 million in state and local taxes.
It makes NO sense to levy big tax hikes on U.S. oil
and natural gas producers as our economy is trying to recover.
America needs jobs, and a strong domestic energy industry – producing
fuel here at home and bringing it back from overseas – will accelerate the job
creation and spur economic recovery. And it will not require another taxpayer
funded, trillion-dollar government stimulus
program.
Please call or email Senator Patty Murray
and tell her to look at the facts:
A study by Wood Mackenzie
earlier this year looks out to 2020 and clearly lays out the benefits of
policies that promote greater oil and gas development:
- More than 1 million new jobs could be created
- Government revenues would increase by about $127 billion
- Consumers would benefit from an additional 4-million barrels’ worth of
oil and natural gas per day
Call Senator Murray at (866) 481-9186
to make your voice
heard!
