Since we launched the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” campaign last week, the positive responses we’ve received have been overwhelming. More than 35,000 people have signed our petition urging Congress to immediately start drilling for oil domestically. If you haven't signed the petition yet, I hope you'll sign it now and join me in sending a message to Congress that we need real solutions to stop the pain Americans are feeling at the pump.

The United States has the resources to create its own fuel. For example, the largest domestic resource is oil shale, found in parts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming in the Green River Formation. According to estimates, this reserve has over a trillion barrels of oil, with 800 billion barrels fully recoverable, or three times the current oil reserves as Saudi Arabia.

Existing technology and current oil prices prove that extracting domestic oil from shale is both feasible and cost effective, but the Left is blocking attempts to take advantage of this resource.

Americans truly have a choice – a choice between the Pay More, Send More Money to Foreign Dictators and Cripple America Left and the Produce More, Enjoy More, Pay Less, Stengthen American Center-Right Majority. Make your choice by visiting AmericanSolutions.com.

I also want to take the time to congratulate a principled Democratic Representative who had the courage to break with his party leadership last week on the issue of domestic energy production.
