Tell Congress to Drill For Domestic Oil Now!

Sign our Petition and let them know how you feel!

Democrats and environmentalists have blocked much domestic drilling. They’ve blocked Alaska, they’ve blocked the Pacific coast, they’ve blocked the Atlantic coast, and they’ve blocked off Florida, and restricted drilling on federal lands by allowing the environmentalists to hold up drilling in the courts and huge amounts of governmental red tape. That just leaves us more and more dependent on foreign oil. It is estimated that there is enough domestic oil that if harvested would completely free us from foreign oil for over 100 years. Instead the Democrats think they are solving the problem by castigating oil company executives for high fuel prices. We need to push Congress for more domestic exploration and drilling NOW!

This petition will finally allow your voice to be heard!

Drill For Oil Here NOW! PETITION

We, therefore, the undersigned citizens of the United States, petition the U.S. Congress to act immediately to lower gasoline, diesel and other fuel prices by authorizing the exploration and drilling of proven domestic energy resources so as to reduce our dependence on foreign oil from unstable and adversarial countries.

Ron Vanlangendonck from Texas says it very well....

As a person who has been involved in the process of locating new oil & gas reserves and buying and selling natural gas I have a very good understanding of the industry. I am amazed every day at how little our Representatives and Senators in Congress know about our business and the hard work and research that goes on constantly to find the energy sources we all rely on. Technology has increased a thousand times over since I started in this business and we are able to do things now we never dreamed of 30 years ago. Not only do we know how to find the deposits of oil and gas we did not know about before we also have the ability to drill for oil & gas that was not economical to extract before. All in all though, it is still the most risky business that there is and millions of dollars are spent not only in buying leases that give us the right to drill but the expertise and equipment required to drill thousands of feet (miles) into the earth to find the reserves. The middle east seems like a better place to drill because they are not burdened by the environmental rules and regulations that protect us from ourselves. The oil and gas is there we just have to have the right to go after it. Some of the points I think the public is missing about the oil & gas business are as follows: * Everybody in the O&G industry is not rich many of us are just making a living, *Just because major oil companies have several leases in offshore waters that doesn't mean there is O&G there and they assume the risk of finding it, *To make ourselves self-sufficient we have to all contribute to the cause (that means the east coast and west coast have to belly up to the bar and let us drill of their coasts like we have forever in the gulf of Mexico), *Worrying about the disruption of barren wilderness (ANWR) seems menial when compared to the large percentage of Americans that have to make a choice of whether or not to eat or drive to work with our rising cost of living and gas cost associated with our dependence on foreign oil (I find this as foolish in the United States as those people who do not want us to pray to God or mention his name in public because they don't believe...it sounds like the tail wagging the dog to me) *If our government officials don't start thinking about their country and their constituents instead of themselves we are doomed forever...we get the idea it is all about their own preservation and never about us. I don't care who is running for president or any other office it is all just window dressing when they start telling us all the things they are going to do when most Americans should know they don't even have the support or authority to make those decisions without the support of other politicians who have their own vested interest. Sorry for the long remarks I just had to vent. Should we drill for oil. Your dang right we should anywhere and everywhere we can.

Allen		You should change your slogan from 'We can't drill our way out' to 'Let them eat cake' The News is getting out, congress on has a 9% approval rating and going lower. This November we will send you home for good.
Michael		Let's drill!! we have to use oil until a viable replacement is developed so we might as well use our oil. think of all the jobs it would create for the american people.
John		Save our county and economy! DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!
