Dear Friend,
August is here and it's a time each year when
many American families go on vacation. But if you're like many
Americans, you're crunching the numbers and realizing this
year's vacation won't be like recent years past. The cost of
gasoline and its spillover effect on the price of food -- and,
well, everything else -- has left your family with less money
to spend. That's why over half of Americans are reconsidering
taking vacation this summer to save money.
Incredibly, despite so many Americans skipping
vacation this summer because of the high cost of gas, Congress
left for a 5-week paid 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.
There's one way you can fight back and send a
message to Washington: Join more than 1.4 million
Republicans, Democrats, and independents who have already
signed the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition. This
simple idea will allow us to reduce our dependency on foreign
oil, lower our gas prices, and prevent our hard earned dollars
from funding countries lead by radical dictators. You
can sign the petition by clicking

Since American Solutions started the petition
drive two months ago, President Bush lifted an 18 year-old
executive ban on offshore drilling. Congress will now be
forced to decide whether they want to renew the ban against
domestic drilling, which is set to expire on October 1. If we
stand together, Congress won’t be able to ignore the
will of the American people.
Our new goal is to collect 2 million
signatures to present to the Republican and Democratic
Conventions at the end of August, which will force Congress to
take action on this critical issue. Please join the millions
of Americans united to demand action from Congress by signing
the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition by clicking
here.
Your friend,
Newt Gingrich
General Chairman

Solutions
P.S. If
you go online and make a special contribution of $10 or more
we will send you this "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" bumper
sticker.
