When I first heard about it in June, I thought "hey, this could stir up Conservatives to get excited and vote accordingly again!" I began pouring through the internet and finding every article I could get my eyes on, to find out what the movers and shakers were saying. Then, a couple of weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh mentioned it as the BIG ISSUE of the upcoming elections. What is it?
ENERGY. Specifically, domestic oil drilling (but also refinery buiding, nuclear energy, clean coal energy and the like).
This is the issue that is going to catch fire. Even an average Joe has begun a petition drive to bring the word to Congress to DRILL HERE. It's at
www.drillforoilhere.com, and is FREE, and you can add your own comments when you put your name on the petition. How cool is that?? I encourage all who read this, to sign the petition. The goal is 100,000 signatures to take to Capitol Hill. Let's help him exceed that goal. For my part, I've e-mailed just about every radio talk show I could think of, to alert them of this new grassroots petition. Hopefully, at least ONE will take the baton and run with it.
Think about it, folks! This could be the new issue that gets Conservatives FIRED UP because we're FED UP! Remember how we stopped the Scamnesty bill? Remember how Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity encouraged people to call their congressman about it, and how groups like GrassTopsUSA made blast faxes to flood the halls of Congress? Let's do it again!!
It is grassroots movements like this that are Democracy in Action! It is what we can do to make a difference! I for one, am tired of the do-nothing Pelosi House, and I'm also tired of their stupid talking points on how "we can't drill our way out of this". THAT'S A LIE!!
THIS COUNTRY HAS MORE UNTAPPED OIL THAN ALL OF OUR IMPORTS. OUR NATION'S SECURITY DEPENDS ON US BEING INDEPENDANT OF CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS FOR OUR OIL. WE HAVE PLENTY HERE!
