AEA Keeps Focus on Domestic Energy Production

Alliance Continues American Energy Advocacy Campaign with New Ad

Washington, D.C.

– The American Energy Alliance (AEA) continues its efforts to keep leaders accountable for their energy policies with a new radio spot, “Keep Fighting.”  AEA’s latest ad will start running today in Mississippi.

AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:

“Our continued education efforts are driven by a simple but powerful idea; more production from resources owned by the American people – on and offshore — means lower energy prices for American families and businesses.  We will keep working to educate voters, government officials, and other stakeholders until everyone understands this fundamental fact.

“Frankly, I am shocked that even now some of our elected leaders continue to obstruct policies that will reduce energy prices, reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy from unstable regions, employ thousands of Americans in good paying jobs, and put more money into the budgets of American families and individuals, all because they are shackled to a failed ideology.”

“At the same time, it is appropriate to recognize those who support the right policies for American consumers.  That’s why we are urging voters in Mississippi to encourage their Senators to keep fighting for American energy production.”

Script of the ad “Keep Fighting” follows:

“They say change is coming, but tough economic times still lie ahead for many Mississippi families.

Thankfully, Senators Roger Wicker and Thad Cochran fought to lift the ban on offshore energy exploration and production.
And today, gas prices are falling, providing needed relief to our families.

But some in Congress want to reinstate the ban and stop offshore exploration before it even starts.  And others want to increase energy taxes, eliminating good Mississippi jobs and sending prices soaring again.  That’s not the kind of change Mississippi needs.

Call Senator Wicker at (601) 965-4644 and Senator Cochran at (601) 965-4459.  Thank them for working to lower gas prices by lifting the offshore energy ban and tell them to fight against job killing new energy taxes.”

The American Energy Alliance (AEA) is a recently formed not-for-profit 501(c)(4) organization that advocates for free-market energy and environmental policies.  It is affiliated with the Institute for Energy Research (IER), another not-for-profit – founded in 1989 – that conducts intensive research and analysis on the functions, operations, and government regulation of global energy markets.  Both AEA and IER maintain that freely-functioning energy markets provide the most efficient and effective solutions to today’s global energy and environmental challenges and, as such, are critical to the well-being of individuals and society.
