Feeling the squeeze of $4+ per gallon of gas, Americans are changing their driving patterns. Gasoline demand dropped 2.3 percent from this time last year, evidence that Americans are finding alternatives for their driving patterns. But there is only so much driving you can cut back. If your company doesn’t support flexible work schedules and you have to get to the store, unless you are in a large city with other commute options, driving might be your only alternative.
Certainly as a nation we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, lucky for us there are strong oil reserves right in our own backyard. According to a recent Zogby Poll, 79% of Americans support off shore coastal drilling, and 59% support drilling in ANWR (that number might be higher if not for the years of liberal propaganda on the subject).
Our country has natural oil resources three times greater than the current oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. Isn’t it time to start drilling here and stop propping up global oil prices to benefit the Middle East?
Join the Off Shore Drill Team and send a message to Congress and the world that enough is enough. Its time to use our own natural resources to protect our economy and our sovereignty. We can lower gas prices and create jobs right here at home.
Sign the Petition at American Solutions and tell Congress its time to drill, now.
