Barry Moore was mentioned in THE PRESIDENT'S WAR ON AMERICAN ENERGY..... on page H5956 covering the 1st Session of the 117th Congress published on Oct. 27, 2021 in the Congressional Record.

The publication is reproduced in full below:

THE PRESIDENT'S WAR ON AMERICAN ENERGY

(Mr. MOORE of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)

Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Madam Speaker, President Biden's energy policies have triggered 7-year high gas prices that are hammering American families and small business owners. Today gas prices are 50 percent higher than a year ago. In Montgomery, folks are paying $3.09 a gallon, Enterprise $3.21, and Eufaula and Troy $3.29.

At these prices, the average Alabamian will pay about $23 more each week on gasoline. That is more than $100 a month and $1,200 a year.

Gas prices impact small businesses, too. I am a small business owner, and countless small businesses like mine that are highly dependent on gas prices are being hammered right now by these high prices.

Almost all goods and services must be delivered via gas at some point. So it is basic economics. When the price of gas goes up, the price of everything goes up. That is on top of near-record inflation being driven by our out-of-control government spending. This insanity has to stop or the pain at the pump will continue.

Biden must end his war on American energy, and we must defeat his socialist tax-and-spend agenda.
