Drilling Petition Fueling Online Movement
In 30 days, Newt Gingrich’s "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" online petition has reached 1,141,740 signatures and has received more traffic than MoveOn.org, which recently aired a much publicized anti-McCain ad.
Americans are flocking to the online pro-drilling petition, which President Bush and Sen. McCain recently endorsed.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's American Solutions Group has figured out how to run a successful viral campaign, offering its supporters an investment widget, a petition widget, an option to endorse the campaign on your site, banners supporting the movement, a YouTube campaign site, a Solutions lab, and an “action pack” which includes a printable version of the ‘Drill Now’ petition.
So far, over 73,000 people have made online donations to fuel the ‘Drill Now’ petition. All of the supporters receive a free bumper sticker, which helps spread the virtual movement offline.
