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.

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.

The manner by which House floor proceedings are televised is entirely under the authority of the House speaker. The speaker decides when and if proceedings will be televised and who will be authorized to distribute the television signals to the public.
LOL. With that kind of inspiration, how could I not call.
Probably not a bad idea SE Mom. Listening to Juan and Mara the rats are going to cave when they come back in Sept. Maybe we can beat them to the punch.

If not c-span, this is the Information Age— camcorders, recorders, all kinds of high-tech phones— yeah, people want to see and hear something.

“Our President should make an unannounced appearance and offer a few hard facts”
Right on. No heavy prep either. I like Bush better when he shoots from the hip.
And what if the Speaker is not present? Who decides?
And what if the House is not in session? Are outside cameras permitted?
Lanterns would be great, along with fans, coffee and donuts.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if one of them read selected excerpts from Pelosi’s latest dismal tome?
