DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW

"Americans of all political parties have signed the 'Drill Here, Drill Now' petition. Here's what they're saying: The 1.1 million Americans who have signed the petition are appealing to Congress to allow environmentally responsible ways to produce more energy here, at home.

"They're not calling for higher taxes on oil companies. They're not blaming foreigners for our energy problems. They're not begging the Saudis to sell us more oil. And so my message to the party that controls Congress is this: The American people have spoken. Are you listening?

"Through our polling at American Solutions we have long known that a whopping 81 percent of Americans support developing more domestic energy, including oil and coal. And this 81 percent majority is made up of 85 percent of the Republicans, 83 percent of the independents and 76 percent of the Democrats surveyed."

- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
