Help Lower Energy Costs by Expanding Access to America's Energy Supplies

Every five years, the Minerals Management Service (MMS), the government agency responsible for oil and gas leasing in the U.S. offshore, develops a Five-Year Plan. That plan determines where and how often oil and gas lease sales will occur over the next five-year period. While the current plan is in effect until 2012, the energy crisis is prompting the government to solicit comments on whether to begin a new plan for mid-2010 to mid-2015.

MMS designs its energy plan based in part on the input from the public. If there is enough public demand for greater domestic energy production, the MMS will begin the process of drafting a new five year plan. That's why we need you to take action! The deadline for comments is September 15, 2008.

Let Washington know you support reasonable access to all of America's onshore and offshore energy resources.

It is quick and easy to send your comments.

*Comment: (Max 2,000 characters) : # of Characters	America needs to develop its domestic energy supplies. I support FreedomWorks' campaign to urge the U.S. government to allow responsible exploration and development of all our nation's oil and gas resources. We have the technology to develop these American resources safely and without significant harm to the environment. I urge the MMS to revise the 5 Year Plan to include any areas that have oil and gas reserve potential. This is a critical time for our nation. High energy prices are hitting consumers and businesses hard. It is time to provide a sensible energy policy that fully utilizes this nation's vast natural resources.
