Country singer Aaron Tippin is apparently an issues voter. Instead of advocating for a particular candidate, the Florida-born country singer turns the lefty legacy of the '60s folk movement on its head with his new song, "Drill Here, Drill Now." Tippin advocates exactly what it sounds like he advocates: Drilling for Oil here and now, which supporters say will reduce the cost of gas, diesel and other fuel. "I don't know what a gallon of gas costs up on Capitol Hill," he sings. "But we sure know what it costs down here in Realityville." "I think we are all frustrated and I've seen how people are suffering," Tippin said in a statement. "It's severely hitting the blue collar, working class Americans-and those are the folks that have supported me throughout the years. It takes half a paycheck to cover the gas just to get to and from work. If I can be the messenger to help my American friends and neighbors understand that we really do have options and can create positive change, that's what I'm gonna do. 'Drill Here, Drill Now' is an empowering 'stand-up and pay attention' kind of song." The song echoes the title of a petition on Newt Gingrich's "American Solutions for Winning the Future" website . The petition calls on Congress to immediately authorize "the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries." Tippin and Gingrich may get their wish: The Washington Post report ...

The Bush/Cheney Administration has launched an all-out push to line our coasts with Oil rigs that would pollute our waters, threaten dolphins and other marine wildlife and wreck coastal economies. According to federal energy officials, such drilling will have "no significant" impact on prices at the gas pump. But Offshore drilling contaminates water, routinely spilling Oil and toxic liquids into our oceans and releasing hazardous fumes into our air. It would have a significant impact on dolphins, sea turtles and other marine wildlife that need healthy oceans. The danger of contamination is even greater in waters prone to tropical storms and hurricanes. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita resulted in 124 separate spills and more than 740,000 gallons of petroleum products spilled into the Gulf of Mexico and fragile wetlands. We only have until September 15th to stop this awful plan! Please sign our letter below urging the Minerals Management Service to shelve the Bush/Cheney proposal for more harmful Offshore drilling. ...
