According to the office of Steve Scalise (R-LA), the Republicans are being called back to Washington. He should be back there Thursday.

We need to call all Republican Representatives and tell them that this is the time for them to make a stand!

If we don’t start drilling right away, this country won’t be able to afford a government. Don’t drill and the government will have to shut down for lack of revenue.

saying oil companies already have millions of available drilling acres on land they're not using.

So what is the scoop on this?

Is this land that they don't think is oil-bearing?

Is it not "easily" producible?

Has it been explored and found empty?

What are the Pelotians talking about?

This is one issue that Americans can't afford to negotiate on so if the Rats don't allow drilling the GOP needs to shut down the Government.

God bless you, Kristinn, and the DC Chapter. Give ‘em hell. Hold them to the fire. Drill early, drill often, drill here, drill now. Oh, and nukes, too! And coal! U.S. energy independence!

Reminds me of the Mr. T speed walking commercial. The Republicans have been speed walking and finally something motivated them to "get some nuts".

"We need to call all Republican Representatives and tell them that this is the time for them to make a stand! "

How about us Freepers.. demanding actions of Congress...NOW we are getting it..

Are we now prepared to support them by showing up there with a New March for Energy?

We demand... are we prepared to support these demands with actions and sacrifices of our own?

Come on Freepers...

What really gets my dander is the Queen thinks we are stupid.

So if a threat from Iran causes futures buyers to buy at a higher price fearing decreased future supply.

Then why wouldn't an anticipation of increased future supply have the opposite effect causing futures buyers to buy lower not wanting to be stuck with an overpriced commodity.

Bottom line Pelosi ,you garbage scow witch. Prices began declining when the Executive ban on off shore drilling was lifted. Lift the Congressional ban and prices will immediately drop further.

Personally, I like it when the feds shut down. It keeps damage to a minimum.

It’s about time that someone showed guts. We need more of that.

Awesome strategy. Conservatives have been waiting for leaders with strong vertebrae to stand up for the American people.

Except for the Pentagon, I'd shut down the whole miserable mess, tell everyone to go home, and cut everyone's salaries to $1.00 per year.

Wow so when the Democrats are in Charge of Congress they shut down all opposing viewpoints and do not allow any dissent...

I thought this was America... looking more and more like the United Socialist States of America... under the Command and Control of his Holiness the Messiah Obama

Next be prepared for the wife of the Messianic one to tell the subjects if they have no gas well they should just use wind and solar renewable energy sources....
