Country Star Aaron Tippin Debuts New Single 'Drill Here, Drill Now' On The Sean Hannity Show

Song inspired by American Solutions' 'Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less' movement

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In an interview today on The Sean Hannity Show, former Speaker Newt Gingrich and country music star Aaron Tippin debuted Tippin's new single entitled "Drill Here, Drill Now." The song was inspired by American Solutions' "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition drive that has gathered nearly 1.5 million signatures.

Like many Americans, Aaron Tippin was tired of paying too much for gas while Congress did nothing about it. So he took action and wrote "Drill Here, Drill Now," a song about what Americans should do to fix the problem. In this powerful collision between pop culture and politics, Tippin calls on our nation's leaders to pay attention to Americans who are asking for change: they want to drill here and drill now so we can all pay less.

"Aaron's song masterfully captures the strong grassroots support for the 'Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less' movement," said American Solutions General Chairman Newt Gingrich. "'Drill Here, Drill Now' the song is sure to take the country - and Capitol Hill - by storm, and become the rallying cry for more American-made energy now."
