Dear editor:

The “Federalist Papers” were a patriotic endeavor to unify 13 states into a unions. They were a series of 85 letters published by various newspaper of the day from Tuesday Nov. 20, 1787, through Friday, April 4, 1788, penned by Mssrs Hamilton, Jay and Madison.

Their editorial expressions to unify the then 13 states into a union equates our editorial letters of today as mindless dribble. Where are the patriots today on issues?

Why do you withhold your commentary on important issues?

“I would jeopardize my job if I expressed my opinions.” There are ways but your conviction on vital issues are no less important today than they were when these patriots wrote the Federalist Papers.

On Thursday Sept. 28, 2007, General Motors’ hydrogen car was shown to our U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. (not a hybrid but a real hydrogen gas burning beast capable of haling large loads and powering 430 hp farm tractors.)

Our U.S. Congress says “ho hum.”

I know Sen. Chambliss will read this letter and I urge you senator to please get involved and express your convictions in Congress on this nation’s fuel crisis.

A vote by Congress requesting 35 mpg vehicles by the year 2020 is not foresight or hindsight but rather a lack of vision.

Last Sunday I purchased 12 gallons of gas for $43. At that moment reality set in — this is madness. I cannot afford to pay these prices. My income is not compatible with he cost of personal transportation.

Hydrogen gas on demand production has become a world issue.

Senator Chambliss, I invite you to come by and witness me making hydrogen on demand in my shop right here in Moultrie.
