HOW:

    Emphasize the Following URGENT Issues to all offices and demand a prompt, written response and the following legislative actions:

    1. By 6/15/2007, U.S.A. Congress must pass legislation to keep all of Mexico's Trucking Companies from having any of their trucks coming beyond the current 2-25 mile limit into the U.S.A. where they exchange freight with U.S.A. trucks. President Bush should enact this legislation by 6/18/2007. By 6/28/2007, the U.S.A. Congress and President Bush should enact the Absolute Advantage Foreign Trade Policy (at least for Mexico) explained below in Urgent Issues 2 and 3.
    2. SUPPORT P.L. 480 Title I LOCAL CURRENCY SALES, including a mutually beneficial trade deal with Mexico involving these P.L. 480 exports of U.S. agricultural products to Mexico and increased oil imports from Mexico (under Absolute Advantage Trade Policy instead of the current "Comparative Advantage" Free Trade Policy) for most of our oil imports.

      Tell your Congress-persons to add $5 billion to $10 billion in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 for this P.L. 480 Title I 480 program with Mexico for this concessional loan of pesos to Mexican Government for infrastructure/other economic development. Also, tell U.S. Congress-persons to correct/improve U.S. true, active, crop-producing family farmer's price support program especially by adding Parity Support Prices.

      A major result of this trade deal and revised trade policy (i.e.: Absolute Advantage) with Mexico would eliminate its "Maquiladora" exports to the U.S.A. and economically force and help it to greatly improve economic/political conditions for nearly all citizens in Mexico, and stop our open border/illegal immigration/drug problems. This would also include the willful return of the many million illegal immigrants now in the U.S.A. to proper, good-paying infrastructure/other economic development work in Mexico. This would also keep Mexican truckers transporting goods only within Mexico. It would also cancel the NAFTA Super Highway and "Smart Port" Mexican Customs Office in Kansas City, MO, and prevent combining Mexico, U.S.A., and Canada into one country. In FY 2008, this P.L. 480 program and legislated Absolute Advantage Foreign Trade Policy should also be applied to numerous Latin American, Asian, and African countries.

    3. Tell Congress to Vote Against FTAA-Type Trade Agreements with any Country; and by 6/15/2007 Legislate an Absolute Advantage Foreign Trade Policy worldwide, which means that an importing country imports only complementary, not supplementary, products (in most practicable finished form) that it cannot reasonably produce itself. E.g.: U.S.A. would import finished-form tropical agricultural products and export finished-form temperate agricultural products. This Would Stop All U.S.A. Improper Imports from All Countries and Greatly Help Solve the Disastrous U.S.A. Trade Deficit and Foreign Debt. Also, it would return most or all of the many million good U.S.A. jobs exported/outsourced over the past 35-45 years; and help solve other problems under WHY above. President Bush should sign this bill by 7/23/2007.
    4. UNCAP AND DRILL U.S. OIL WELLS
      By 6/20/2007 US Senate and by 6/27/2007 US House should pass a bill added to S-1268 that provides a "price-support" (tax credits, etc) of $23.00 to $25.00 per barrel of oil and $3.00 per 1000 cu. ft. of natural gas. That adds incentives to increase U.S.A. oil refinery capacity. This would prevent OPEC monopoly (Cartel) from dropping its prices below these price supports in order to stop or greatly reduce U.S. domestic oil/natural gas production, as it did at $10/barrel in 1998.

      President Bush should sign this bill by 6/29/2007, and it should require him to have his Departments of Interior & Agriculture & the Bureau of Land Management to promptly start properly and increasingly issuing leases for oil/natural gas production on Federal Lands in several western states (e.g. Montana and Wyoming) and other U.S.A. States, especially on Gull Island and other parts of Alaska's North Slope Petroleum Reserve separately west of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).

      These actions should greatly start increasing our domestic oil/gas production (in private and/or federal lands in these states and off-shore in the Gulf of Mexico plus U.S.A. West and Southwest Coasts) 2 months or so after President Bush signs this bill (especially from Alaska's long-capped Gull Island Well). In a year or so this should reduce our oil imports from 60% to 20% or so (most from Mexico) of our oil consumption with No Imports from Iraq/Mid-East/OPEC monopoly. Exports of Alaskan/Other U.S.A. Oil and Natural Gas production should be prohibited.

      A 10-member U.S. Congress and Private Sector Group should soon (6/08/2007 to 6/11/2007) go (in one of President Bush's airplanes) to Alaska's Prudhoe Bay area to physically prove whether there is a capped (unused) --- not a plugged (drained) --- Gull Island oil well there, and to prove the same for oil wells in the other aforementioned U.S.A. States.

    5. Tell (Instruct) your Federal and State Senators and Representatives, and your Governor, to legislate a paper ballot voting system (in place of the machine/computer systems) for legitimate, accurate voting systems nationwide for the November 2008 election.
  • All Eligible Voters:
    • Get active NOW per WHO/HOW (above)! These accomplishments will buy the time (5 to 10 or more years) to then develop wide-spread alternative energy/sources, (wind, solar, ethanol, etc.) and better energy conservation; it will also buy time to solve the other problems under WHY above.
    • These accomplishments will also prevent a future economic (e.g. excessive gasoline, heating and other energy prices) disaster and the related terrible human sufferings, such as when the Katrina hurricane hit Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
