This is EXACTLY what we need!

Force these Scumbag Democrats to come BACK to DC and debate the issue.

Evasion.. isn’t that what Hitler did?

That’s what the Democrats always do.

Well folks, we had an AWESOME day on Friday, but there is more to do!

1) Keep calling DC! Yes folks, resume to the phones on Monday morning. Call everyone- NOT just your Representative. Call EVERY House Representative in DC and ask them to keep talking about energy. Tell them what state you are calling from. Tell them that WE, the people, WANT to hear them. The LIGHTS ARE NOT OUT ON THE INTERNET! Pelosi CANNOT shut down the internet! We are HERE! We are WAITING! Pelosi CANNOT black out the American people from their Representatives! SHE wants this to fade off the radar, but WE WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN as long as THEY want to talk to us, WE ARE HERE AND WAITING!

2) Call the MSM—remind them that the STUNT on Friday was NOT the Republicans continuing to talk. It is CUSTOMARY that once adjourned, Representatives can continue to give 5 minute speeches on the floor. The STUNT was that the Speaker of the House turned out the lights, cut the microphones, and turned off the cameras. THAT is the STUNT! THAT is the out of ordinary event of Friday.

3) MILLION PATRIOT MARCH on DC! Prepare to swarm DC on September 8th, 2008! SHOW UP! Come with signs, bullhorns, cameras, phones, laptops any device available. Not only BE the news and the VOICE of America, but BREAK the news to America! We will have FREEPERs here to report your news, bloggers here to report your news, and BLOGTALKRADIO Hosts here to report as well.

Call you local congress critter (and your local newspaper) and ask ‘em what they are doing on vacation rather than voting on an energy bill?

Bob Brinker devoted a good portion of his show today to
the energy situation and how the President should call
Congress back into session to address this.

This can be an excellent club to beat up the anti drilling
anti economy anti worker elitists on the democrat side.
Yes Nancy is giving repubs the club to beat them if they would only use it. Come on, GOP, and Mr President. Call them
back! The electorate will vote their pocketbooks on this one.

Ping me if fist fights break out and the peasants storm the hill. Otherwise, this is just window dressing.

I posted this on the other thread. Hope someone with some pull notices!:

I’m sure the drive-by media will try its best to ignore this. That’s why President Bush and/or John McCain should address the group. They’d have a real tough time ignoring that.

Freepers should send an email to Pelosi at sf.nancy@mail.house.gov and let her know what you think. I think all the Botox has seeped into her brain, but she is no different than Dingy Harry or Hussein Obama on this issue. They hate America and are glad to see us suffer with record gas prices.

I’m starting to feel more optimistic. The GOP and McCain are starting to show they have stones. McCain is coming out with some good ads and Boehner is starting to look like a real leader now.

from The Crypt at Politico.

continuing with their guerilla tactics from last week, House Republicans will be back on the floor Monday to talk gas prices, even though Congress is in recess, and they may stay there all week.

guerilla tactics? LOL Do I am proud to be a guerilla lover then.

encouraged House Republicans to return to the Capitol beginning Monday morning to help keep the historic effort going.

First Monday in August there might be a few regular folks in the area that can show up too.

If nothing else, we do need to reward our reps when they actually do spend time working on the priorities they SHOULD be working on! Positive feedback as it were.

I pointed out on a different thread that I don't think this was at all spontaneous. The idea is to give the president the political cover necessary to call Congress back into session. It also works around the embargo the MSM is putting on this story and lets it gain traction through the New Media. During the next week, it will be difficult to impossible for the MSM to ignore this. They may make fun of it, but it's still out there for all to see.

By Friday, I expect the president to call Congress back into session, and it will look as though Congressional Republicans put a gun to the president's head and made him do this. It will make the party in Congress look good at just the right time.

The icing on the cake would be if McCain came back to Washington and made this part of the campaign.

Couple of things....

First, Lindsay Graham on Fox News Sunday said he thought John McCain should call for congress to return and/or for Bush to call for congress to return and vote on the matter.

Graham is a buddy of MCCain so I don’t think he would have thrown this out there without some prior knowledge.

Another pubbie pundit, forget his name, said that this issue was a big one for the pubbies and that they should follow it through.

So McCain might make this part of the campaign if he calls for the President to force a vote.

Also, Laura, Rush, Sean and Mark Levin (who covered this big time on Friday) will be around to hype this thing. Especially Rush, coming off his twentieth anniversary week, will come on at the perfect time to push this thing.

If those guys spent their weekends properly preparing, this could be a big deal. They should have rounded up folks with cameras, alerted all of the media, arranged for guest on with the big radio talk show guys.....

No way the MSM can ignore a McCain call to action. That makes it part of the campaign.

But be skeptical folks. I’m quite sure a few pubbies are telling these upstarts to cool it.

Gonads and spines.

We can hope.
