Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less.
It’s time to stop complaining about gas prices and start doing something about it. “Big Oil” is not the problem. They only make about 8 cents a gallon when you fill up. The problem is liberals and environmentalist who refuse to allow us to drill in the U.S. If we allow ourselves to be less dependant on foreign oil and produce our own the price will drop.
The cost of gas continues to rise and as a result so has the cost of food and airline travel among other things. So what can you do?
You can call your local government officials and let them know that you want gas prices lowered; you want the U.S. to begin drilling. A group from American Solutions.com has started a petition in which they are asking the U.S. Congress to “act immediately to lower gasoline prices by authorizing the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries.” They are seeking 100,000 signatures and are at 96,500 at the time of this post. They wish to submit this petition before the Senate begins debating the Warner-Lieberman energy bill during the first week of June.
This bill raises the cost of carbon which in turn raises the cost of gasoline, heating oil, aviation jet fuel, diesel fuel as well as electricity produced by coal and natural gas.
This petition is for real. Links are currently on Hannity.com as well as Newt.org among other sites.
I think that elected officials have forgotten that they work for us. It’s time to be heard. You can go to American Solutions.com or click the link on my sidebar to sign the petition.
***UPDATE*** As of 6/3/08 American Soulutions now has 304,640 signatures. The more the better. If you haven’t signed the petition what are you waiting for? Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less!

I think drilling in Alaska is just a temporary fix. we need to put money into renewable energy sources as well.
In addition, Iraq needs to pay us for their liberation by GIVING us free oil.
Finally, ending the war would free up millions that could be used to subsidize the American people with some tax relief.

Hi, I’m the owner of the Conservative Principles blog. My blog, yours, and a number of others are listed on the American Solutions site as supporting the Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less campaign.
I am going to create a blogroll (in HTML so the search engines will read it) of the sites listed and distribute it to interested sites. You’ll be able to just copy and paste it into a widget or blogger element.
If you would like to be included in the blogroll, just email me at pzannucci@gmail.com By creating this roll, we not only support each other’s sites, but we add strength to the Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less cause. When/if that program comes to an end, we can either move to supporting American Solutions in general, find another cause, disband, or whatever.
Thanks, and let me know if you’d like to be included. Sites listed on American Solutions that do not email me will not be included.
Paul Zannucci
