Reid to GOP on Drilling: Act More and Talk Less

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pushed back against Republican calls for more domestic offshore drilling by suggesting that Republicans go along with Democratic proposals.

“Republicans now have a little — cute little button some of them are wearing, ‘Find more, use less.’ Well, if they’re really interested in solving the crisis, I think what they should do is act more and talk less,” Reid said.

Democrats are calling on oil companies to drill more in areas where they already have permits to explore. Democrats also want to use more oil from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve and crackdown on oil speculators.

Below is a sign made by Senate Republican with their “Find more, use less” battle cry.
