I made a phone call to Robert Hurt's Washington office with this question: [View all]

"I received an e-mail from Congressman Hurt today, and in it he stated that Virginians are concerned about the soaring price of gasoline and that the Keystone Pipeline will change that. Gas in our area has been decreasing in price, and I read an article that said the oil from the Keystone Pipeline isn't meant for the United States, but will be shipped to South America and China. I also read an article that said the price of gasoline will rise, especially for the Midwest, if the pipeline extends to Texas. And, I read that supply has never been higher, and domestic demand has decreased, which should mean that the price actually decreases. So, why did the Congressman say what he said?"

"I will have to...direct you to someone who can answer that. Please hold."

I was connected to another person, and reiterated my points/question (see above).

"I will...I will take your name and someone will get back to you."

I'm planning on calling next week. And again and again until someone answers me
