Drill Here, Drill Now, Save Money

I talked to Princella Smith from American Solutions at the Republican National Convention--she was at the DNC also--Here's what she had to say.....

This week I am eager to report to you on how plans for our second annual Solutions Day are coming along and tell you an immediate step you can take to advance the movement for more American energy now.

But first, I have some exciting, fun news! The Drill Here, Drill Now movement has now inspired a song.

Country music star Aaron Tippin has taken the grassroots support for the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" movement to a whole new level with his new hit single "Drill Here, Drill Now."

We debuted the song on the Sean Hannity radio show this afternoon. When I first heard the song, I knew it would become the rallying cry for those who support drilling for more American-made energy. The lyrics masterfully capture the many arguments for drilling now for more American oil, and if you're anything like me, you'll immediately want your friends and family to hear it too.

You can download or preview the song here. This catchy tune is destined to become a big hit, so download it today.
Drill Here, Drill Now: Urgent Action Needed to Advance Offshore Drilling

In light of President Bush's July announcement to eliminate the executive ban on offshore drilling, the U.S. Minerals Management Service has decided to initiate a new plan to increase energy production on the outer continental shelf (OCS). As part of the regulatory process, the agency is calling for public comments on offshore oil and gas development through September 15, 2008.

In the meantime, unfortunately, the Democratic Congress is planning votes on bills that would actually make all or part of the offshore drilling ban permanent. Now is the time to let the federal government know we need full and unfettered access to America's offshore energy resources.

Take immediate action by clicking here. Let your voice be heard in favor of expanding American offshore energy production.

* The OCS contains 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. However, 85% of the OCS surrounding the lower 48 states is off-limits to energy exploration and production.

* Increasing access to these offshore resources is critical to America's economic and energy security.

As taxpayers, American citizens own these offshore federal lands and the energy resources that lie beneath them.

I urge you to click here for a quick and easy way to register your support for expanded offshore drilling.
