MoveOn Admits Losing the Drill Now Argument
Filed under: Energy
Posted by: @ 6:09 pm

As you know, poll after poll shows that we are winning the argument about how to lower gas and diesel prices and develop more American energy now. 

 

But the even bigger news is that the anti-energy elites are desperately worried. They are not only criticizing us, but they are admitting that they are losing the argument.

 

And friends, that’s big. In fact, considering the source, that’s huge.

 

Recently, liberal group MoveOn.org in an email to their supporters sounded dejected. They wrote “Here’s the truth: Right now, progressives are losing this argument.”

 

That can mean only one thing - WE ARE WINNING THIS ARGUMENT!

 

In the energy debate, common sense is winning and it’s got the anti-energy elites rattled because they offer no solutions to lowering gas and diesel prices.

 

American Solutions, on the other hand, has taken a bold stand and has been leading the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” movement that has energized millions of Americans around a positive solution. Because of your help and the help of more than a million others, today an overwhelming majority of Americans support opening up new areas for exploration and drilling of American oil and gas, including offshore.

 

Even though MoveOn.org admits we are winning, they won’t quit, and there is still more work to be done.

 

Congress has left for a 5-week vacation without doing anything to address the soaring cost of gas and diesel. This inaction is unacceptable to the American people, many of whom can’t afford a vacation this year.

 

Earlier today, American Solutions held a press conference with Speaker Gingrich and Members of Congress still in Washington working to pass an energy bill.  Our message to them was simple:  On behalf of the 1.4 million Americans who have signed the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” petition, it’s time for Congress to take immediate action to lower gas and diesel prices.  Here’s a video from the event:

    With Sarah Palin coming on board, things should really heat up with drilling. We are so fortunate to have her standing with the Republican Party!
