I am writing as your constituent in the 5th Congressional district of Louisiana. I feel that if we were to switch from petroleum-based fuels to natural gas. We have a large natural gas supply in America, so it would provide jobs and we could keep all of the money in the United States. The bill would provide approximately $5 billion in subsidies over a five year period.

Sure, George Soros would benefit from the passage...
