Gas Prices

Here's a link to petition put out by Newt Gingrich's group that we drill for oil in the US. There is no sense in paying such high gas prices when we have the means for it to be cheaper. There is also no sense in not drilling off the Florida coast when China is already doing it. Tell me how that saves our environment. AND, how can we save our environment if we can't save ourselves? Anyway, I know that it takes a while to set up all the drilling and refining, but if we would have done it 8 years ago we would almost be ready to produce for ourselves. So, let's get this thing started! I'm tired of high gas prices; how about you?
