Hilda Solis, CA-32
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 05:30 PM I am Hilda Solis from the state of California. Soy la Congresista Hilda Solis de California. Shelley, a single mother from Tennessee, writes, “I’m having to cut down on food just to cover gas prices. I had to figure out a way to even buy my daughter school clothes this year.” That’s a choice that no mother should be forced to make. It’s time to stop sending our money to foreign countries to buy oil when we have all the sun and wind we need right here at home. Barack Obama will lead the transition to homegrown renewable fuels that will lower gas prices and create good-paying, green jobs. Big oil and John McCain want more of the same. Working-class mothers like Shelley can’t afford more of the same. No podemos seguir con lo mismo! Necesitamos un cambio!
