Woodall Asks Constituents to Contact Obama Administration

Citing high gas prices, Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA-07) said it is time to tap the country’s vast energy reserves.

“We have a choice in this country,” Woodall said in a videotaped message released last week. “We have resources the likes of which no other country on this planet can claim.”

Woodall said the second largest drilling company in America is going out of business because of restrictions put in place by the Obama administration.

“You know what the solution to this is? Drill, drill, drill,” Woodall said.

According to Woodall, the restrictions do not result in an oil or energy problem, they represent a national security crisis.

“We must achieve energy independence today,” he said. “And the only way to do that is to get started taking advantage of those tremendous petroleum resources, coal resources, natural gas resources and more that God has blessed our great nation with.”

Woodall encouraged citizens to contact the Obama administration and ask that drilling permits be issued.

Woodall’s 7th Congressional District includes all of Barrow and Walton counties, most of Gwinnett County, and portions of Forsyth and Newton counties.
