For people in the state of New York, utility bills are now 50% higher from one month to the next, and “around 1.3 million residential customers are behind on payments, with the total unpaid bill rising to a historic 1.7 billion,” says reports on data from 10 large utility companies.

Americans want to stop restrictions on energy and start restoring energy independence again. But if we are silent, it doesn’t matter how many people support energy independence.

While Joe Biden may not listen, many members of Congress will. We must demand energy independence from foreign nations and open the door for alternative energy solutions.

We have the choice now to suffer or prosper, to be strong or weak. And it all rests on this issue of energy independence. Urge Congress to immediately pass the Energy Freedom Act to open up new energy production for American independence. — Mat

In New York state, 1 in 5 people are behind on paying their utility bills. In a short time frame, this could be a massive crisis not just limited to New York. Some estimates put it as high as nearly 1.5 million people behind on these bills in New York.

They are not alone. In New Jersey, a moratorium on shutting off utility services ended three days ago. There are more than 1 million households behind on their utility bills, and they owe a combined 821 million dollars.

In addition, two Minnesota utility companies (CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy) stated that more than 10% of their customers were behind on their utility bills a few weeks ago.

Biden and socialists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez want to end all fossil fuels. Like the pandemic was used by people with ill intent, so the oil and gas shortage (caused by Biden his first day in office) is being used by the radical climate change advocates to eliminate fossil fuels.

Natural gas can be used to supplement our energy needs and can help take the pressure off our electrical system if we increase the production of natural gas that can help lower prices and strengthen America.

We can do all of this while boosting our economy with increased domestic production with the Energy Freedom Act introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz. Urge our federal legislators to support the Energy Freedom Act and to make America self-reliant today.

According to a recent poll from The Trafalgar Group, a massive number of American voters (77%) want Biden to “make increasing domestic energy production a top priority.”

More than 89% of Republicans wanted increased domestic production. About 78% of independents and 67% of Democrats agreed.

On energy independence, only 13.5% of voters were unsure and 9% thought the issue should not be a priority. That means that 91% of voters either want more energy production or are open to the idea.

We have public opinion behind us, including more than 2/3 of Democrats! We have an incredible opportunity right now to demand energy independence for America. But we will never win if we sit back silently and wait for someone else to demand it. It is up to us to make our voices heard.

This one issue will determine our national security, our economic prosperity and the financial stability of millions of American families.

We cannot remain silent while Biden destroys and weakens America. Together, we must fight back. Send your urgent faxes urging Congress to support a bill filed by Sen. Ted Cruz and any other legislation that makes America energy independent again.

Biden is desperate to blame his failures on all the wrong reasons. These crushing energy costs are the direct result of Biden’s actions to block production and hamper the distribution of the energy we already have in America. On Day One, Biden set our nation back 10 years by revoking the Keystone XL Pipeline. This is wrong and we cannot allow it to continue.

Biden is blaming Russia, he’s blaming the gas and oil companies, he’s blaming everyone but himself.

Support the Energy Freedom Act and other efforts to open oil and gas production and make America energy independent again! Make your voice echo down the hallways of Congress and urge our federal legislators to demand energy production and independence today.
