New Online Campaign HQ Demands Answers from Oil Execs

"It's the truth, they just think it's hell"

Washington, DC - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid today unveiled a
new online campaign headquarters - GiveEmHellHarry.com - to provide
Americans with the tools to make an impact on the fight for control of
the U.S. Senate.

"There is a great deal at stake.  While Democrats fight for better
health care, energy independence, restoring America's global strength
and rebuilding our economy through innovation and reform, Republicans
continue to ignore their failures and resist progress," This website is
a place where people can take action.  Together, we can change the
future."

Today on GiveEmHellHarry.com, Reid called on Americans to join him in
sending a clear, unambiguous message to the nation's largest oil
companies who refused to testify at a Democratic Policy Committee last
week on rising gas prices. Reid also is leading efforts with his caucus
on an Energy Independence 2020 effort to reduce gas prices and America's
dependence on Middle East oil.

In the face of national tragedy, our nation's oil companies are
recording record profits while Americans are paying 50% more at the pump
than they did just one year ago," Reid said.  "Democrats in the Senate
have set a national priority to make America safer and more secure by
reducing our dependence on foreign oil by 2020.  If Republicans can't
lead on this issue, we will."

GiveEmHellHarry.com's formal launch will be supported by paid
advertising including billboards in three key western states -
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Phoenix, Arizona; and Helena, Montana -
reaffirming his commitment to winning in the American west.

The name of the site was inspired by an event that occurred during Harry
Truman's successful 1948 presidential campaign. While delivering a
speech on a whistle stop tour in Seattle, a supporter yelled to Truman,
"Give 'em hell, Harry!" Truman responded, "I don't give them hell, I
just tell the truth and they think it's hell."
