I love my Rep!
I'm just sad that I have to have a 3.0 GPA to intern for him. I would totally do it but, I only have a 2.8 or 2.9 (I forget) due to my schools way of grading. Oh well, maybe my summer classes will bump it.
fellow Georgian here!!

Thought Congress had Adjourned? GOP Lawmakers to Return for Energy Debate
ABC News’ Viviana Hurtado Reports: House Republicans tell ABC News that at least 30 members of Congress, emboldened by Barack Obama’s “shift” on off shore drilling, are flying back to DC from their Districts today and tomorrow to attend a special debate on energy policy. This “session” is scheduled for Monday, August 4th beginning at 10 am ET. As expected, no Democrats will participate.
One House Republican says, “I’m a 25 year veteran of the U.S. Congress, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”
GOP members say they would not be holding this debate tomorrow, if the Democratic nominee had not modified his position on off shore drilling.
They believe that with Obama and his Republican opponent John McCain, appearing to be in “agreement” about off shore drilling, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi should recall the Congress from recess, and put an energy bill on the floor in August.
They are expected to meet in the Old House Chamber where Lincoln worked.
If you didn’t get your fill of Congressional drama after Friday’s booing of the Democratic leadership when Congress adjourned, there’s a second chance tomorrow.
I’m thrilled Price is there...I’m in Georgia too! Waving~!
