Pass the "Use it or Lose it Act" before the general election

By the Petroleum industry's own admission, to Congress, they are only drilling in about 25% of the areas they currently hold leases to drill, but they refuse to return the remaining leases to the goverfnment to reissue to others. multiple times the "Use it or Lose it" legislation has been brought before Congress, but those congress members who have taken money from the petroleum industry have defeated it. This bill will:

1 reduce the price of gas at the pump (the law of supply and demand DOES work),

2 put more people back to work (the closed down refineries would reopen),

3 protect fragile eco-systems like the gulf and the artic (since the currently held leases are NOT in those areas),

4 and take the control of our economy out of the hands of the petroleum industry.

For the sake of the people of the United States (and exspecially the middle class), I urge you to enact this bill into law before the General Election this November.
