Dear Friend,
For Americans, the 4th of July is about more than the birth of our country. It's about the will of the people triumphing over the will of the elite.
It's a day that celebrates a document, the Declaration of Independence, with a revolutionary premise: Governments are created to secure the God-given rights of citizens, not to grant them their rights. On the 4th of July, we all remember what Ronald Reagan told us, that we are a nation with a government, not the other way around.
This 4th of July, as the price of gas tops $4 a gallon, the will of the people is triumphing over the will of the elite once again. As I write this, over 900,000 Americans have gone to AmericanSolutions.com and signed our "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition.
Also, if you contribute $10 or more, we’ll send you this bumper sticker.
Our goal for this 4th of July is to have one million Americans sign the petition and send the message to Washington that enough is enough. While Congress blames everyone but themselves for high gas prices, Americans are hurting.
While foreign dictators receive more and more of our energy dollars, America sits atop proven domestic sources of energy, both conventional and unconventional.
While Washington elites can't or won't act, the American people see the first step to a practical, common sense way out of this crisis: Drill here. Drill now. Pay less.
It's time, this 4th of July, for another declaration of independence - a declaration of energy independence.
It's time to declare our independence from foreign dictators and independence from instability in the supply of affordable energy.
And it's time to declare our independence from complacency and inaction in Washington.
Thank you for standing with me for real change.
Your friend,
Newt Gingrich
General Chairman
American Solutions
P.S. This petition drive has been successful because engaged citizens like you have helped spread the word. Please forward this email to 10 of your friends or family members and encourage them to sign the petition to help us reach our goal of 1,000,000 signatures.
