Drill Here, Drill Now...!!!

Now that President Bush has lifted the executive ban on offshore oil drilling and challenged Congress to follow suit, I’m looking for Congress to act too. It’s well known that both executive and legislative bans must be lifted before offshore exploration can happen.

I’m tired of hearing the Democratic excuses, such as drilling now won’t help for several years. If we had drilled 10 years ago and we wouldn’t be facing this issue today.

I agree with President Bush..."Failure to act is unacceptable. It's unacceptable to me and it's unacceptable to the American people."

Virtually every thinking American knows that there are no quick fixes.
We also know that "alternative sources of energy" are NOT going to bring down the price of gas at the pumps, because these alternative sources will not produce a single drop of oil to be refined into gasoline.

Do Americans want lower gasoline prices?

Then we need to demand that Congress take action to lift the bans on offshore drilling and drilling in ANWAR.

We can all sign the petition for "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" at http://www.americansolutions.com/

We can also contact the Democratic Congressional leadership and demand that Congress take action to lift the bans on offshore drilling and drilling in ANWAR.

Contact Speaker Pelosi at: http://speaker.house.gov/contact/

Contact Senator Harry Reid at: http://reid.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm

These Congressional leaders need to hear the American public demand that they follow the President’s action, and lift all the bans on offshore drilling and drilling in ANWAR.

Acting now on a long-term solution would send a serious signal to the market that more oil supply will be coming on line. That, in turn, is likely to ease the price of oil and begin to bring down the price at the pumps.
