Drill Now!

To get the bumper sticker click here.
I was so excited to see this petition on my local talk radio station.
Below are some interesting facts from their web site. I really thought they were excellent points. I have been so frustrated about this lately and wished there was SOMETHING I could do. Needless to say, I signed the petition and hope many others will also.

Currently, 78% of Americans find our dependence on foreign oil to be threatening to our national security and economic prosperity, by making us vulnerable to dangerous dictatorships.

Building more oil refineries to lower the cost of gas and reduce our dependence on foreign oil is a solution found favorable by 77% of Americans.

Drilling for oil off of America’s costs is a solution found favorable by 73% of Americans, provided that proper precautions are taken to protect the environment.

It is time for an honest debate about drilling and producing in places like Alaska, our national forests, and off the coast of scenic areas. Scientists of impeccable background should help set the standards for sustaining the environment in sensitive areas, and any company entering the areas should be bonded to meet those standards.

The public should be informed about new methods of production that can meet the environmental standards, and any development should be only with those new methods.

A percentage of the revenues from resources generated in environmentally sensitive areas should be dedicated to environmental activities including biodiversity sustainment, land acquisition, and environmental cleanups in places where there are no private resources that can be used to clean up past problems.


If the above is not enough to convince you then see what Chuck Norris has to say, below.
