On Vacation! by Dr. T

We are witnessing a modern day "tea party", finally the masses have had enough and they are letting their voices be heard. All around the country people are calling their representatives and letting them know that something must be done about our energy crisis. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and her band of merry men have hijacked us citizens and in essence, this crisis is their doing. She has willfully and deliberately denied a straight up and down vote on a bill that will allow off shore drilling of our own resources. We have deposits that could keep us in barrels of crude for the next 200 years and yet we are still held captive to our enemies and at a price of over $4.00 a gallon for gasoline.

Currently, there are a handful of Republican Representatives sitting in the "House". Technically, there should be no formal business going on because the Speaker has closed it down, announcing that there will be no vote, sending everyone on a five week paid vacation. In the meantime, the people she was elected to represent suffer the consequences. It is an abomination! But this handful of Republicans are calling for Nancy Pelosi and the rest of Congress to return to the house chamber and vote. Citizens are sitting in the chamber as support and all around the country folks are clamoring for a resolution.

For those of you who, like myself, have obligations here at home, do your part by calling the switchboard at the House of Representatives and ask them to connect you to the Speaker's office. The number is 202 224-3121. Demand that she and the other members of Congress return and do their duty. Callthe White House too; the President needs to take the gloves off...the people are suffering.
