Nancy Goes to Recess

by: Rachel Paulk, August 07, 2008

Republican members met in the U.S. House of Representatives this week to protest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to call a vote on the American Energy Act—a bill with a bipartisan focus on both increasing the oil supply with additional drilling and increasing American alternative energy capabilities.

Rasmussen Reports stated that in a recent poll for the month of June, “Over half the nation’s voters (52%) now say Congress is doing a poor job, while just 11% give the legislature good or excellent ratings.” Also of note was the fact that “Before this month, the percentage ranking Congressional performance as poor had never exceeded 50%.”

The poor rankings stemmed from the growing opinion that Congress is disinterested in legislation improving the average citizens’ daily life and more focused on bills that bolsters its own political support. In light of this report is Speaker Pelosi’s refusal to call for a vote on bills designed to alleviate gas prices for the average citizen.

Over 100 bills have been introduced in 2008 alone by both Democratic and Republican Representatives addressing the energy issue—the trends in the bills show the Democrats focusing on alternative energy sources and the Republicans focusing on drilling for more oil. However, Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) stated that Speaker Pelosi has “never scheduled a vote on an energy bill that includes more domestic drilling.” Instead, Speaker Pelosi’s priorities lie elsewhere.

So what has her “do-nothing” Congress done?

To date, the House has put into law the names of about 80 post offices across the country. Thanks to Speaker Pelosi, America now has:

• The Rocky Marciano Post Office Building in Brockton, Massachusetts;
• The Congresswoman Jo Ann S. Davis Post Office in Gloucester, Virginia.....
