PROVIDENCE –Obama supporters in Rhode Island will talk to motorists tomorrow (Friday) at more than a dozen gas stations across Providence about Senator Obama’s New Energy for America plan that will lessen our dependence on foreign oil, give American families an immediate energy rebate of $1000 to deal with soaring gas prices, and create five million new green jobs. Congressmen Patrick Kennedy and Mayor David Cicilline will speak to supporters about the Obama energy plan and the real relief it means to Rhode Island families.
On Monday in Lansing, Michigan, Senator Obama delivered a speech on his New Energy in America plan. Campaign volunteers will hand out copies of Obama’s New Energy for America plan to Rhode Islanders who are paying nearly $4 per gallon to fill up their gas tank. Please see details of the plan and Senator Obama’s speech at: http://www.NewEnergyforAmerica.com.
Congressman Kennedy and Mayor Cicilline will also highlight Senator John McCain’s failure to do anything to address the energy crisis during his 26 years in Washington. McCain has consistently chosen profits for oil companies over energy relief for American families, including voting against fuel mileage standards, opposing renewable sources of energy, and refusing to back the bipartisan energy compromise in the Senate because it would take away tax breaks from oil companies like Exxon-Mobil.
