It’s on: House GOP’s oil protest to resume tomorrow
Hot Air ^ | 8/3/08 | Allahpundit

Said the boss this morning, “Seems to me House Republicans should be holding a public event every day in Washington from now until the end of the Democrats’ vacation to call attention to Nancy’s anti-drilling intransigence and her refusal to hold votes on the issue.” From her lips to the leadership’s ear. Just across from Boehner’s office:

Washington, Aug 3 - House Republicans will be back on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives again Monday to continue the unprecedented protest that began last Friday, when dozens of Republicans joined hundreds of American citizens on the House floor to protest Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) decision to send Congress home for the rest of the summer without a vote on legislation to lower gas prices and move America toward energy independence.

In an urgent memo sent to GOP Members and staff Saturday (“A Call to Action on American Energy”), Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) hailed Friday’s action, which was led by Reps. Mike Pence (R-IN), Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA), Tom Price (R-GA), and others, and encouraged House Republicans to return to the Capitol beginning Monday morning to help keep the historic effort going.

Yes.

They need to film campaign commercials during it.

Have the house chamber lit with candles.

Every member up for re-election....This is Democrat “Sock Wad’s” energy plan for your future.

If there is, I’d like to be on it.

More than a dozen Republicans have already committed to being there; Pete Hoekstra, leveraging the buzz the GOP got in the blogosphere on Friday for its use of new media, sent forth the good word this afternoon via Twitter. No word yet on what they’re planning, but if you’re not yet convinced that the wind is at their back on this, go read the transcript at Newsbusters of Stephanopoulos beating his head against a wall trying to get a straight answer out of Pelosi on why she won’t allow a vote on drilling.

I told all the naysayers they would be back on monday. So much for the whiners and bitchers. Whine and bitch to your representatives and quit bitching to FReepers, the congresscritters can help you, we can't! Call the President, ask for a sepcial session to be called, call the house republican leader, 202.225.0197 and then call the whip(can't remember the phone number) and tell them you support this move.

Republican reps ROCK!

The democrats will do absolutely NOTHING that would possibly bring down the price of oil prior to the election!!

The higher that they can keep the prices,,,,the better for them and Obama,,,,

AND THEY KNOW IT!!!
