Drill for Oil at HOME

Drill for Oil at HOME

Target:
Petition to lower gas prices and straighten out the economy
Sponsored by: 
Despite all of the posturing by politicians, oil, and plenty of it, exsists right here in America begging for our use.  Unfortunately, many of the so called "environmentalists" would have you believe that we will perminently damage natural haibits if we do so.  That, my friends is misinformation.

The type of drilling done today has little to no effect on the surrounding areas.  Great precautions are taken to ensure that wildlife and plantlife are minimally affected. 

We can reap the rewards of being less dependant on foreign oil if we act now.  Just the mere theat of drilling our own land will be enough for OPEC to immediately start lowering prices. 
Stop blaming the administration and big oil!!!  Do something NOW!

Dear Congress:

We the people of America want real solutions to our oil crisis.  We have grown impatient with the talk of failed alternatives and negotiations with OPEC countries.  The answer is right here at home.  Drill in Alaska, California, the Dakotas, and in the Gulf of Mexico and we will have solved our problem with oil.

The environmentalists that grab headlines do not represent the majority of Americans.  We are here to tell you what to do....that is your job:  To represent the will of the people.

For school I have put a debate together for drilling in AMWR. I have had to research the facts and I know for a fact the drilling there would hurt no one. Infact it will benefit everyone in the country in the end.

Good stewardship means utilizing resources to improve life for ouselves and our children. Toward that end, we have created the most affluent society in history. As good stewards, we have enacted laws to reduce the impact of oil drilling. However, our representatives choose serve environmentalist obstructionists instead of those who entrusted them with good stewardship. Remember this when you ask for our VOTE!

We must stop sending our money to our enemies. We can drill for our own oil in a much cleaner/safer manner than they will.

Gas prices will never drop back to where they were but it is foolish to give money to countries that are out to kill us. We need to be energy in dependent while we develop renewal energy sources.

Its hard to believe we need to sign a petition for something so obvious? Drill anywhere there is oil or gas. Build Nuclear power plants.

"We must stop allowing Congress to determine our fate. If they can't see fit to provide relief to the American public, we should vote all of them out. I stand ready to do so" I agree with this comment from an earlier signee.

Time to quit sending US dollars to foreign countries. We need to drill for oil here in the US and help the US economy. We are concerned about Caribou and Polar Bears in Alaska, yet we import tons of oil from Canada and they are not the least bit concerned there? Why are Canadian Caribou and Polar Bears not enough of a concern of Canada to prevent them from making millions off of the USA? Come on folks, we have plenty of oil and both the Canadian and US wildlife are going to be fine. An oil drilling site is VERY SMALL and Alaska is VERY BIG. WAKE UP AMERICA!!
