Help us keep fuel prices low by signing the Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less petition today!
(Fayetteville, AR)--The Arkansas Federation of Republican Women today encouraged Arkansans fed up with soaring gas prices to express their support publicly for more domestic energy production. Those interested can sign the petition "Drill here. Drill now. Pay less." at www.AmericanSolutions.com, a site directed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
"Say 'yes' to problem-solving, say 'yes' to taking action," Britton said. "Sign the petition to demand change on energy production. We've already waited too long and Americans are paying the price for it now. This petition will soon be presented to members of Congress and Americans need to let their leaders know that we're in a crisis and that higher taxes on oil companies and further restrictions on production are the exact opposite of what we need."
Britton notes that liberal politicians in Congress have consistently blocked access to America's energy reserves: "We have 10 billion barrels of oil in ANWR. We have 20 billion barrels off our shorelines. And we have 1.2 trillion barrels in the oil shale of the Rocky Mountain West. Let's fuel our needs while at the same time creating thousands and thousands of good-paying U.S. jobs at a time when those are critically needed.
"American families feel crushed by weeks and weeks of record-high gas prices," Britton said. "We aren't just talking about cutting back on travel plans; some families are cutting back on food purchases. We have to take action immediately to explore and develop American energy sources in order to bring prices down. There's no quick fix, of course, and we have to continue our efforts at conservation and alternative energy sources but we have to accept that, for now, we depend on traditional energy sources and we need to do much more to take advantage of the resources that we have right here in our own country."
We need to call Senator Blanche Lincoln 202-224-4843 to tell her NO on the Warner-Lieberman energy bill then call Senator Mark Pryor 202-224-2353 and tell him the same! Here is why!http://www.afrw.net/warnerlieberman.htm

Of course, with the calls that all Arkansans made to tell Senator Lincoln and Pryor to just vote no on the cloture of Warner Lieberman they both voted for the bill..... no body is listening yet! Time to rachet it up!
