AN URGENT PLEA TO JOIN THE BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO BAN RUSSIAN OIL IMPORTS UNTIL PUTIN WITHDRAWS HIS TROOPS FROM UKRAINE
Dear Senator Feinstein,
Many years ago I wrote to you asking for your support for Russian Jews who were seeking to escape the Soviet Union. I remember you were kind enough to respond and express your support and continuing efforts in this matter. I still have your letter and appreciate your response and your efforts.
Today, I am writing to you with an urgent plea to support a bipartisan senate bill to ban all oil imports from Russia until Russia withdraws all troops from Ukraine.
In the past eight days the whole world has been horrified watching Putin's invasion into Ukraine, slaughter of innocent women and children, destruction of residential buildings and the whole cities and lately an absolutely insane attack on a large nuclear plant which risks a radiation holocaust all over Europe.
Please, think about it. On September 1, 1939 Hitler attacked Poland. If the world would have been united then, in September of 1939, World War II could have been prevented, some 20 million people would not have died all over the world.
During World War II Nazi Germany had to resort to cloaking, hiding its' exports of Iron ore and other exports through neutral countries and banks. Today Putin does not even hide his exports.
The U.S. imports two types of oil from Russia: crude oil and refined products such as gasoline and kerosene. Last June, the U.S. imported 848,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia. https://www.
Today the price for crude oil reached $102 per barrel. A simple multiplication shows that we send to Putin $86, 496,000 every day for his oil. President Biden recently authorized $350 million for military aid to Ukraine. That constitutes just 3 days of oil payments that Biden sends to Putin. We are sending $31,571,040,000 every year to Putin to feed his military machine. We are subsidizing slaughter of innocent women and children in Ukraine.
According to Senator Lindsey Graham, 75 US senators now support the bipartisan bill introduced by senator Marshall to ban Russian oil imports. Speaker Pelosi joined this effort.
I respectfully urge you to join this effort and support the bill banning Russian oil imports until Russia withdraws its' troops from Ukraine

Re: Need to end oil imports from Russia during the invasion into Ukraine and need to replace it with the domestic energy
Dear Secretary Granholm,
Today, American citizens are glued to TVs and watch in horror Putin's invasion into Ukraine. We all understand, that if unchecked, it's Ukraine-today, other European countries tomorrow, World War III -day after tomorrow, as further invasion will trigger Article 5 of the NATO charter, which will demand US involvement.
So, what can we do to stop this invasion? The most recent data from the US Energy Information Administration shows that the US increased its oil imports (crude and refined oil products) by 28% in the first 11 months of 2021. When it comes to crude oil only, US doubled the imports of crude oil in 2021.
The U.S. imports two types of oil from Russia: crude oil and refined products such as gasoline and kerosene. Last June, the U.S. imported 848,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia. https://www.
Today the price for crude oil reached $102 per barrel. A simple multiplication shows that we send to Putin
$86, 496,000 every day for his oil. President Biden recently authorized $350 million for military aid to Ukraine. That constitutes just 3 days of oil payments that Biden send to Putin. We are sending $31,571,040,000 every year to Putin to feed his military machine.
So, Ms. Granholm, American citizens are inquiring, what is your plan, as the Secretary of Energy, to end the US imports of Putin's oil, stop feeding his war machine and increase the US domestic energy production to replace roughly 850,000 barrels that we get from Russia?
First, and most clear step, appears to be the need to reverse the ban on Keystone Pacific pipeline, to bring more oil from your native Canada to refineries in Texas to produce more gasoline and kerosene from the oil produced in North America.
Secondly, there is a need for more oil and gas exploration permits in the US, on federal lands. The argument that it hurts the environment does not hold water. It is one planet. If oil is not produced in the US, it is produced in Russia, it is the same effect on the planet, but, when produced in Russia, it also feeds Putin's invasions and totalitarianism, and the environmental standards in Russia in oil production are lower than in US, so it is preferable to produce oil and gas in the US.
Thirdly, there is a need for increase in renewable energy production and the need to decrease the dependence on oil. For example, US government can provide temporary tax waivers to manufacturers of electric cars, like Tesla, with the understanding that those savings will be passed directly to consumers. This plan would make electric cars much cheaper, more affordable. Electricity is already more affordable than gasoline. The end result of this policy would be a significant reduction in the need for oil, less oil imports from Putin, less money going to feed Putin's war machine.
There are more policies that could be instituted, at least temporary, until the invasion into Ukraine ends and reparations are paid to Ukraine and its citizens.
I would love to discuss this matter further. I hope to get answers, not just for myself, but for US citizens who are deeply concerned with the situation in Ukraine and possibility of it spiraling further into World War III.
Respectfully, /s/ Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ
