HOUSE REPUBLICAN WHIP
Mary Fallin
Oklahoma-5th, Republican
1432 Longworth HOB
Washington, DC 20515-3605
Phone: (202) 225-2132
Just spoke to her staff..she is still there on the house floor:)
I just called and said "There's a Republican revolt going on int the House Chamber and I wasn't seeing much coverage of it." I got a run around on it. Was told several times "There are no cameras on now. Cameras are not allowed." I objected, politely, that the story could still be covered.
He seemed mildly irritated that I would question that and asked if I wanted to talk to (name garbled) and I said yes. Got a phone tree that led to leaving a recorded message. I did...
"There's a Republican revolt going on in the House Chamber. I understand that the cameras are turned off. You can still cover the story. Thank you."
A Freeper eyewitness report.
Nancy Pelosi pulls the plug on the House to avoid a defeat on drilling(Nancy pulls the Chavez Card)
A member of the Capitol Hill Police Force informed me that the Speaker's Office had ordered them to clear the floor of the House no later than 4:30.
Not much you can do against Gestapo rule.
The ball is in the Presidents court. I hope he has the courage to put it into play.
I suspect it will really depend on what the powers that be authorize, permit, order him to do.
This is critical enough and smack in the middle of their traitorous manipulations of the world economy, of oil, of the citizens of America . . .
I can’t imagine them allowing him to make his own decision on it.
I read hm as patriotic enough to do it.
But I don’t read him as suicidal enough to do it if threatened sufficiently not to.
We’ll just have to wait and see. I know some Freepers emailed the WH. I did. If I understood correctly what they said, Pubbies are in Washington till Monday awaiting his response on the letter.
Thanks.
glad to hear it.
Hell with midnight, they should just keep going PERIOD... live in the chamber... push and don’t stop on this.
The copy will be too damned good for the press to ignore, and the Dems know they are on the wrong side of this one so just keep pounding them on it.
Thanks.
I think so. Will check it out.
I absolutely scream whenever I hear the term ‘Big Oil’!
I still hear about the ‘Enron loophole’ that was closed, I still hear about ‘Use it or Loose it’ which is already in effect.
Thank the dumbmasses. (say it real fast)
By 2020 there will be 600million Chinese (if current economic growth continues there) that will reach ‘middle class’ status. They can only do it with more energy. When the ‘progressives’ demand we conserve, are we to surrender to the foreign entities?
Un friggin believable!
Exactly what authority as “Speaker of the House” does she have to run off 40-50 US Representatives from the House chambers?
considering this was not planned, it was good.
Think about the fact that Pelosi had to HAVE PLANNED ALL ALONG TO PREVENT A DEBATE AND VOTE.
PELOSI HAS BEEN LYING TO THE PUBLIC ALL WEEK.
Where are the soundbits of Pelosi lying about friday being debate day?
Thank you. We must encourage, sacrifice and love one another for the next few years. As a human, I am no one special. Just driven by the fire of baptism in conjunction with the Lord Jesus Christ. As Christ’s brother once said: ‘Faith without works is dead.’ I am a public servant of part of the ‘good guy network’. Nothing more, nothing less.
Do you have an email list of friends?
tell them about Free Republic.
The more people on FR the less the MSM has control.
even just inviding everyone in you email list to join would help.
Check next Friday. The domain is RagingDebate.com . The site will be live when my business partner gets back on Wednesday and finishes the last couple of pages. I’ll advertise the site which intention is not for profit, but for mobility of the masses against tyranny. Putting in very long work weeks while doing this special project. Please pray for me and meanwhile, keep watching your neighbors back :)
Your Brother in Christ,
Jason
Interesting post 2585 by roses of sharon
From LGF tonight.
Actually, the historic part of this event was what sparked it... namely the Dems gavelling out the session before everyone got their usual chance to make a speech to the empty chamber. You know those silly speeches into the record where the representative is alone except for the janitor, droning on because he knows no one is listening? Well, because a record number of Republicans signed up for those today (apparently about half of the entire delegation) Pelosi & Co. broke all precedent and tradition and gavelled the session closed early... the vote for adjournment was apparently much earlier, so they were just holding it ready for whenever they wanted to enforce it.
That’s what sparked a few Republicans to demand their speech time... which rolled into more than a few and eventually a whole bunch. Meanwhile, Democrat aides ran about mouthing off in front of reporters about “morons” and how they couldn’t let the Republicans have any press time. Add in the police being called to clear the gallery, and the various cameras, mics, and lights being turned off... and you’ve got this ridiculous, frantic, and very very Un-American afternoon for the Pelosi camp.
Also, this is from C-Span yesterday:
C-Span has just issued this statement: “A number of media organizations have incorrectly referred to ‘C-SPAN cameras’ being turned off and not providing televised coverage of the GOP House members’ post-adjournment protest on energy policy being held on the House floor on Friday afternoon. Please note that cameras in the House chamber are under the control of the Speaker of the House and that all media organizations, including C-SPAN, wishing to cover events in the chamber must use the official House TV feed. No private media cameras are permitted in the House (or Senate) chambers.”
Hence the statement by Rep McCotter, from MI:
“This is the peoples’ House, “Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) said. “This is not Pelosi’s politburo.”
“Thank you for that link - has anyone made this YouTube Video a headliner on its own thread?”
If not, it should be.
There are only two on Youtube that I know of.
Part 1: Pelosi turns off the lights as GOP demands action

Part 2: Pelosi turns off the lights as GOP demands action
