Dear ,
I'm delighted to inform you that President Bush just signed an executive order to allow offshore drilling along our coast. This is a major victory in our effort to reduce gas prices, and it would have not happened without your help. Your petition signature allowed us to send a message to Washington that could not be ignored. President Bush's executive order will overturn an eighteen year-old offshore drilling ban imposed by President George H.W. Bush.

This is a significant victory, but we cannot stop there.

Congress still must act before Americans can start searching for oil offshore, and we must keep the pressure on them until they take action to lower our gas prices. We plan to accomplish this by collecting 3,000,000 "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less." petition signatures that we'll present to both the Republican and Democrat Conventions in August. You can help us reach this goal by inviting your friends and family to sign the petition by clicking here.

Thank you for joining this grassroots movement and helping raise awareness about this important issue.

Sincerely,



Dave Ryan
Executive Director
American Solutions

P.S. The voices of 1,300,000 Americans are clearly making a difference. Help us keep the momentum going by calling your Congressman or Senator at 202-224-3121 and urging them to lift the federal ban on offshore drilling.
