Main Street News

PRESS RELEASE
November 28, 2006

Main Street Speaks Out on Off-Shore Drilling Legislation
(Washington, D.C.) – "On Election Night, the voters made it clear that they want results - not ideological battles - from their leaders in Washington," said Sarah Chamberlain Resnick, Executive Director of the Republican Main Street Partnership.

Eighteen House centrists penned a letter on Nov. 17 to the Republican leadership on off-shore drilling legislation. The letter states, "The American people made clear on Election Day that it wants Congress to take pragmatic, targeted approaches to solving problems rather than engaging in ideological sparring. Continuing efforts to promote the House bill, which could open the entire U.S. coastline to oil drilling, and which would sweep away environmental protections, undermine local control and increase the deficit, would signal that we have not gotten the message on Election Day."

The letter did not endorse the Senate version of the bill, and made clear that some of the signers of the letter would vote against the Senate bill. The letter did say, however, that if an off-shore drilling bill were to come before the House, the only legitimate vehicle to bring up for a vote would be the unamended Senate bill. The letter also said that all efforts to come up with a new compromise or to take any other action based on the House bill should cease.

"Our party needs to prove to the American people that we are committed to a pragmatic leadership that puts the needs of the electorate above partisan bickering," concluded Resnick.
