Princella Smith, Chief Advocate & Spokesperson of American Solutions, spoke on the political group’s latest initiative on American energy policy called “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less.”

The energy petition calls for Congress to do away with the federal moratorium on domestic oil drilling as a part of a larger strategy of making the United States energy independent of foreign nations.

The mission of American Solutions, from its website:

[American Solutions is a] non-partisan organization built around three goals: to defend America and our allies abroad and defeat our enemies, to strengthen and revitalize America’s core values, and to move government into the 21st Century.

Our mission is to become the leading grassroots movement to recruit, educate, and empower citizen activists and elected officials to develop solutions to transform all levels of government.

You can sign the American Solutions to “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” by clicking here. As of today, the petition has garnered over 1 million signatures from concerned citizens.
