Washington, Aug 3 - House Republicans will be back on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives again Monday to continue the unprecedented protest that began last Friday, when dozens of Republicans joined hundreds of American citizens on the House floor to protest Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) decision to send Congress home for the rest of the summer without a vote on legislation to lower gas prices and move America toward energy independence.
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.
“It’s not a request we make lightly. But the American people are suffering,” Boehner and Blunt said in the memo. “The consequences of continued congressional inaction on gas prices are unacceptable. We’ve called on the Speaker to call Congress back into an emergency session this month and schedule a vote on the American Energy Act. We must continue to make a stand until the Speaker complies.”
“We realize not everyone can be in Washington next week. But if you can be, we ask that you come to the Capitol, join our colleagues, and lend your voice, beginning this Monday at 10:00 am,” the GOP leaders wrote. “If you can’t be in Washington, we ask that you contribute to the cause in other ways – such as spreading the word among your constituents, writing an op-ed for your local newspaper, or taking our ‘all of the above’ energy message to your local airwaves.”
“Republicans stand with the American people. We share their passion and determination for energy independence, and we’ve pledged to fight boldly until Congress heeds their will,” Boehner and Blunt concluded.
HECK YES!
He can do a few things...he can call and keep you informed of the crowds, who is there, what is going on, and you can post it here...
or he can try to see if any Reps would be willing to talk LIVE to the folks through BlogTalkRadio....(if so— I will FREEPmail you my phone # so I can tell him what show and what numbers to call depending on the time...)
He can be sure to encourage everyone he sees to keep it up!
THE LIGHTS ARE ON HERE!!!
;-)
YOU ROCK!!
THANKS!!
NEW VIDEO - “Nancy “Lights Out” Pelosi” ... PASS IT ON !
* * * *
On August 1st, 2008 Nancy “Lights Out” Pelosi blocked a vote on a bill to drill. Instead of listening to the will of the people she listened to the will of Democrats ready for their vacation.
Nancy “Lights Out” Pelosi turned off all the lights, mics and cameras in the chamber but Republicans stood up
for the American people who have a right to have their voices heard in Nancy’s House of hypocrisy.
Spread the word!

(Volume is kinda loud)
I do think any sincer GOPer will have to watch their backs. We can be certain that the attack dogs will be out in full force. IRS, ethic complaints, maybe something worse. With a compliant MSM, no telling.
I am praying for safety for them and their families.
FOLKS!
how about this for a title for the thread:
Dear Nancy, Here at FREE REPUBLIC- The Lights are ON! (Repubicans Raising Cain Live Thread)
Keep the spark alive bump
fI will say they have guts when I see something like this......http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f75_1187836313
That is a GREAT title! But may I suggest “Live thread II” incase anyone is looking for the continuation?
cool!!!
Freepmail to you
I love the glitter!
You have to be insane to expect the same people who got us into this mess to get us out.
If you like $4/gal, Thank Nazi Nancy. If you want $10, Vote No Oilbama.
Pray for W and Our Troops
LOL..That’s great!!
According to Article II, Section 3, he can do so on "extraordinary Occasions." Does $4 a gallon gas count as such an "Occasion"?
Who’s the alleged father?
Thank you for posting this thread.
Because I am so ignorant about these things, can you give me a clue as to where to find the e-mail addresses of all our republican representatives?
