American Energy Act - Tell Pelosi we want a vote!

It's time for Nancy Pelosi to put her (or should I say "our") money where her mouth is. Today House GOP Leader John Boehner announced House Republicans have introduced the "American Energy Act".

Passage of this act would open the Outer Continental Shelf, ANWR and other oil rich areas for oil and gas exploration, among other measures. Republicans are calling this an "all of the above" strategy that promotes conservation while easing the burden on Americans. For Congressman Boehner's press release click here.

After President Bush lifted the executive ban on drilling the price of oil dropped. It went down again today. If the Congress lifts its ban the price will drop again, before we even pull an ounce of oil out of the ground.

The Democrats will do all they can to see that this bill never makes it to the floor for a vote. We need to let Nancy Pelosi know we want this to go to a vote. Call Nancy Pelosi today, tomorrow and the next day at 202-225-0100.

Nice. If the Dems can't say yes to this, they may find themselves finally on the bottom of this struggle.

It's the rope we can hang them with.

She's too power hungry to allow a vote. She just likes the power to be able to or not to allow things to happen regardless of how dumb it makes her look or how it destroys the country. Control freak. Polititians should quit if they cannot put others first.
