DRILL HERE – DRILL NOW!

Sign the Petition : 17,788 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

The United States has vast oil and gas resources both onshore and offshore that are currently illegal to develop and therefore inaccessible.

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 38 BILLION BARRELS of undeveloped oil resources (19 billion barrels onshore and 18.92 billion offshore.)

U.S. law also prohibits the development of approximately 180 TRILLION CUBIC FEET of undeveloped natural gas resources (94.5 trillion cubic feet onshore and 85.7 trillion cubic feet offshore.)

By joining this petition I hereby request that the U.S. Congress vote to repeal these laws and enact new laws that encourage the immediate exploration for and extraction of oil and natural gas in the United States.

I am tired of other countries dictating what I will be paying at the pump for a gallon of gas.

We have elected you to act in our best interests. Clearly, we believe drilling here and drilling now is in our best interests.

Count me among the 73% of American people who believe that with appropriate safeguards to protect the environment, we should drill for oil off America’s coasts and in Alaska to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.		DRILL HERE – DRILL NOW!

    What a despicable legacy this congress will leave in the annals of world history. Do nothing, pay no attention to the will of the people who elected you. Biggest waste of taxpayer money is paying and funding the cost of this so-called group of representative of the people. You leave your porch light on but nobody seems to be home! Ignorance can be cured but stupidity is forever. The American public is thoroughly fed up with your intransigence on the energy and immigration issues...drill now and get the complete border fence finished ASAP. The torches are being made and the pitchforks gathered...shame on you for taking your salary for nothing but misfesance, nonfeasance, and malfeasance.

    Dear Senator Pelosi et al, while I am infuriated with the Bush Administration's polarization of America, I am equally frustrated by your undemocratic stance regarding allowing a vote on the drilling for additional oil. I want to vote for Barack Obama but you are standing in my way. I fear that a democratic president plus a democratic congress, especially one determined to maintain this polarization, will result in MOTS (more of the same). We need a united front in order for us to get out of the mess that George Bush and your do-nothing congress has created.

    We need strong leadership and you all have failed miserably! While I feel that John McCain represents MOTS, it is a matter of whether I want a Republican MOTS or a Democratic MOTS. I shall be watching for some inkling of change over the next 2 months. If you want my vote, I need to see some progressive changes. This country needs and deserves more than all of you have offered up to now. I beg you, implore you, BE A POSITIVE FORCE FOR CHANGE!

    I am sick and tired of voting against the other guy! I want a reason to vote FOR somebody!

    We have the resources...we have the technology...and we also care about the environment...unlike other countries who do not care what damage they may cause in order to obtain these natural resources.

    Please do what you were elected to do. Serve the interersts of the people of the United States of America. Otherwise, prepare to be replaced by someone who will.

    DO SOMETHING!!! Just saying we need alternative enregy is STUPID. We have to use all of our natural resources and brain power to overcome our dependence on OTHER NATIONS. To do otherwise is a RISK TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND OUR WAY OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Be the patriotic public servant you swore you would be and please support energy independence through drilling American oil and gas, and by supporting a crash program for the development of all viable source of energy. This is a critical issue for America's future.
