instaPoll: With gas prices spiking at the pump, what solutions do you support to reduce American dependence on foreign oil?

According to AAA, the national average of regular gasoline hit $3.731 a gallon this week. The LA Times reports, "U.S. motorists have seen the national average for regular gasoline rise above $3.50 a gallon in just three different years, but it has never happened this early. Analysts said the early price shocker is likely a sign that pain at the pump will rise to some of the highest levels ever this year."  McClatchy Newspapers raises concerns about the impact of high gas prices not just on consumers, but also on economic recovery: "By summer, some analysts said, you could be paying $4 for a gallon of gas, almost as high as the record set in the summer of 2008. A price that high could cripple the still-fragile recovery, as millions of Americans might decide to spend their just-renewed payroll tax cut on gas instead of a new clothes dryer or TV set."  The rising cost of crude oil across the globe and increasing tensions in the Middle East suggest that prices will continue to skyrocket in coming months, hitting hardworking taxpayers. Question of the Week: With gas prices spiking at the pump, what solutions do you support to reduce American dependence on foreign oil? (  ) I support offshore drilling. (  ) I support opening the Keystone pipeline to deliver oil from the tar sands of Canada to refineries in Houston. (  ) I support increasing exploration of natural gas. (  ) I support aggressively pursuing renewable energy development. (  ) I support comprehensive solutions like the New Manhattan Project that bring together scientists and researchers in the U.S. in a competitive format for innovative solutions. (  ) Other (  ) I am unsure. Take the poll here. Find the results of last week's instaPoll here.

View it in your browser.   Local Coordinators: Last night Mark Meckler resigned as a National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots.   His resignation follows months of discussions and good-faith differences on how best TPP can serve the Tea Party movement.  He felt it necessary to step aside and pursue other endeavors.  We extend our best wishes to him.  He has done many good things for the movement.   If you would like to see the media coverage of Mark's departure you can read The Hill (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/212467-tea-party-patriots-co-founder-resigns), Daily Caller (http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/24/exclusive-co-founder-mark-meckler-resigns-from-tea-party-patriots/) and Politico (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0212/73255.html).   The Tea Party movement involves millions of Americans.  No one person or even small groups of people are responsible for the movement’s success and vitality. Tea Party Patriots is successful because a great many people like you who have given so much sweat and toil toward our goals of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.   The entirety of TPP remains committed to you with all the tools and support you need to extend the movement’s success throughout 2012 and beyond.  We intend to expand that support which Tea Party Patriots provides.   In the coming weeks you will see a renewed focus on repealing ObamaCare, reducing Federal over spending, reducing out of control regulation, and crony capitalism.   Working together the movement and Tea Party Patriots will continue to grow stronger and to build an enduring grassroots organization that increases public support for our ideals of fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets.   Sincerely,   For Tea Party Patriots, Debbie Dooley, Jenny Beth Martin, Sally Oljar National Coordinators Tea Party Patriots, Inc. operates as a social welfare organization organized under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

» Senator Roy Blunt Vows to Fight Obamacare’s Anti-Conscience Mandate - Big Government

Stop the attack on freedom of religion. Stop the government from prohibiting the free exercise of religion by forcing citizens to paying for something that they they believe is ethically wrong. Specifically addressed in the Blunt amendment is the right for the members and organization run by members of the Catholic Church not to pay for or provide contraception benefits which is established in their doctrine as morally wrong. Support the Blunt amendment to the transportation bill!

Suffolk Poll Isn't All Good News For Scott Brown

Suffolk Poll Isn't All Good News For Scott Brown

By Steven Shepard

February 17, 2012 | 3:32 PM

Sometimes, you have to take the bad with the good.

On its face, the new Suffolk University/WHDH-TV poll released late Thursday night is good news for Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., who leads his chief Democratic rival, Harvard University professor and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, by nine percentage points. Other public surveys show Warren -- at worst -- running even with Brown, including a separate poll released earlier this week.

Suffolk Poll Isn't All Good News For Scott Brown

Obama’s Budget Bust, Broken Promises

To view this email as a web page, go here.

Volume 52 -- February 17, 2012 As we work together to defeat Barack Obama and elect Republican candidates up and down the ticket in November, Victory Insider continues to keep you informed about Campaign 2012 and our Party's fight for commonsense conservative policies in Washington.  Thank you again for all do for the RNC! RNC Chairman Reince Priebus 2012 ELECTION COUNTDOWN: Super Tuesday: 18 Days              Election Day: 263 Days FOLLOW US Mission One RNC Chairman Reince Priebus at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference on the GOP's mission for 2012 -- firing Barack Obama and putting a Republican back in the White House.  (Reince Priebus, "RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Remarks Excerpts From 2012 CPAC Ronald Reagan Banquet," GOP.com, 2/10/2012) Obama's Budget Bust "Obama's budget is a failure of leadership. The White House seems utterly unconcerned with the unsustainable trajectory of the national debt. In pursuit of their agenda, they refuse to be inconvenienced by insolvency. Their nonchalance is as appalling as it reckless." (Reince Priebus, "Obama's Budget Deficit of Trust," Townhall, 2/15/2012) Broken Promises "Most recently, the president failed on his chief responsibility: to uphold the Constitution. He issued a health insurance mandate that required religious organizations, most notably Catholic charities and schools, to violate their religious beliefs. Ultimately, Obama sacrificed religious freedom in pursuit of his government takeover of health care."  (Reince Priebus, "The President Has Broken Many Promises," Journal Sentinel, 2/14/2012) Fake Compromise "The White House has offered something it calls a compromise on the so-called contraception mandate -- and by 'compromise' the Obama administration apparently means offering a symbolically tweaked plan to go forward with trampling Americans' religious liberties while pretending to accommodate them. In truth, nothing of substance has changed from the administration's January 20 announcement that religious employers will be forced to provide services they find morally objectionable."  (Editorial, "The Compromise That Isn't," National Review, 2/13/2012) Doing Things Right "The Republican National Committee is beating the Democratic National Committee in fundraising while at the same time providing a model of how the federal government should cut spending." (Ronald Kessler, "RNC Beats Democrats in Fundraising," Newsmax, 2/7/2012) Declaration of Dependence Under Barack Obama, Americans' dependency on the federal government has skyrocketed along with spending and debt.  (John Merline, "Dependency Index Surges 23% Under President Obama," Investor's Business Daily, 2/8/2012) "Hope" On Sale "In 2008, Barack Obama had no record, so he ran on empty slogans. In 2012, he has a record, but because that record is so abysmal, the campaign has calculated that they must run a campaign that deliberately avoids mentioning it."  (Reince Priebus, "Hope, Handbags, and Hypocrisy," RedState, 2/7/2012) Making Life Less Taxing Republican governors like Mary Fallin in Oklahoma and Sam Brownback in Kansas are leading the effort to eliminate state income taxes.  (Editorial, "The Heartland Tax Rebellion: More States Want to Repeal Their Income Taxes," Wall Street Journal, 2/8/2012) Marc Rich Redux? "Two American brothers of a Mexican casino magnate who fled drug and fraud charges in the United States and has been seeking a pardon enabling him to return have emerged as major fund-raisers and donors for President Obama's re-election campaign."   (Mike McIntire, "Obama to Return Major Donations Tied to Fugitive," New York Times, 2/6/2012) Fair and Square Considering Barack Obama's constant class warfare lecturing about "fairness," here is a list of questions we'd really like the President to answer.  (Stephen Moore, "A Fairness Quiz for the President: Is It Fair That Some of Mr. Obama's Largest Campaign Contributors Received Federal Loan Guarantees?" Wall Street Journal, 2/7/2012) Speaking of Fairness... Fat cat teacher union president making hundreds of thousands a year to squeeze New Jersey taxpayers doesn't care about poor kids' chance at a decent education.  ("Christie Calls on Union Chief to Resign Over School Voucher Comment," Fox News, 2/8/2012) "The Promise That Became a Punch Line"                The RNC released a new web video "The Promise That Became a Punch Line" on the three year anniversary of Barack Obama signing his "Stimulus" plan. The video chronicles the promise Barack Obama made with the "Stimulus" to keep unemployment below 8 percent and create millions of jobs. Unfortunately, three years later, twelve million unemployed Americans don't consider this a laughing matter. ...and "My Daughter's Future" Even though his budget failed to receive any votes in the US Senate last year, President Obama's back with the same failed spending and tax increases that we've seen the last three years. Instead of cutting the deficit in half by the end of his first term -- like he promised -- President Obama is adding another trillion dollar mortgage to our children's future. ** 2012 RNC Valentine's Day Cards ** The RNC launched their annual Valentine's Day cards on www.GOPValentine.com featuring President Obama and his liberal friends -- have some fun at the Obama Democrats' expense!
