Latest News On Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less
// June 12th, 2008 // No Comments » // ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less campaign run by American Solutions has now recieved over half a million signatures. To date they are at 620,957 signatures. Their General Chairman Newt Gingrich has set a new goal of 3 million signatures which they will deliver to both parties at their national conventions. By the time of the election American Solutions wishes to have received 5 million signatures and 7 million by January.
How long can our goverment, our elected officals who supposedly work for us, ignore our wishes. A recent poll on American Solutions now shows that “81% of Americans support the U.S. using more of its own domestic energy resources, including the oil and coal already here, to combat the rising cost of energy and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources. This belief is so widespread it is supported by a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.’
Those who wish to hold our Country back from becoming less dependent on foreign oil point the finger at “big oil” and their “windfall” profits as the cause for the high cost of gas. They can’t be further from the truth. The term windfall profits is defined by gaining huge profits with out working for them. Big Oil works for their profits. They receive 4% profit for thier work in contrast to the 15% the government makes every time you fill up. That’s right, the government does not drill for the oil nor do they deliver, but they still receive 15% every time you fill up. They in essence are the ones benefiting from “windfall profits”.
We have the answer to our gas problems right under our feet. Your goverment makes too much money to do anything about it though. They cater to the liberal and enviromentalists while you labor to put gas in your car. China and Cuba are taking advantage of our abundant oil. They drill 60 miles off of the coast of Florida. We have gotten so entangled in liberalism and enviromentalism that is has made our country weaker.
It’s time that the true conservative voices in America are heard. If you don’t want to keep paying these gas prices sign the petition. Call your Congressman. It’s time to make the government work for us again.
