According Pelosi’s “argument” against drilling, why should we pass any new school or infrastructure bonds?

In fact, using Nine Percent Nancy's "logic", we shouldn't build ANYTHING because most projects take YEARS to complete!

What a maroon!

Gateway Pundit has been covering this pretty well.

Jed Babbin has been down there to report. IIRC, Hugh Hewitt had an interview with John Boehner.

Fausta’s blog has had some coverage too.

FROM: Representative Scott Garretts E-Mail Newsletter.

Dear Friends,

By now, I’m sure you’ve all heard about the amazing effort taking place on the floor of the House of Representatives. Last Friday, the House passed an adjournment resolution with a vote of 213-212. Afterward, many Members took to the House floor to protest the fact that Congress was leaving for a five-week vacation without voting on a comprehensive energy bill. Many of my colleagues joined me in opposing adjournment because we believe that there is still work to be done.

We will continue the protest throughout the month of August by demonstrating on the House floor and meeting with constituents in our districts. Through these efforts, we hope to convince President Bush and Speaker Pelosi to bring the House back into session and schedule a vote to help lower gas and energy prices.

How You Can Help

Many of you have called my offices and shared your displeasure with high gas prices. I know that you are making sacrifices in your personal lives to accommodate for the high price of gas. Some of you have said you cannot attend away games for your children’s sporting events. Some of you have said you can no longer afford the extra expense of going to church on Wednesday nights. I want to hear more about your struggles so I can continue to call for action from Congress. I have established a special email address, PainAtThePump@mail.house.gov. Email me and tell me about how high gas prices are causing hardships for you and your family. I will share your comments with my colleagues on the House floor.

In addition, I will be on the House floor tomorrow from 11:00am to 1:00pm and I encourage you to join me here in Washington, D.C. I would be happy to escort you on to the floor so you could participate in this effort. Please contact my office at (202) 225-4465 for more information.

Past Energy Advocacy

Energy affordability for New Jersey’s families has long been a priority of mine. Earlier this year, I asked Secretary Bodman at the Department of Energy (DOE) to thoroughly consider the company DSM’s proposal to develop commercially viable renewable fuels in Belvidere, NJ. The DOE approved DSM’s grant request and DSM hopes to develop a cost-effective sustainable renewable source of biofuel.

Earlier this summer, I called on Speaker Pelosi to bring H.R. 5984, the Clean Energy Tax Stimulus Act, to the floor for consideration. If these tax credits for wind and solar industries and investment expire, thousands of jobs would be at risk. Since the Senate has already passed similar language, with a bipartisan vote of 88-8, a procedural stalemate in the House is unacceptable. America needs to expand its renewable energy resources and this bill would help stimulate innovation.

In addition, I have recently signed two discharge petitions which would require the House of Representatives to consider legislation to promote responsible American energy production. The No More Excuses Energy Act, H.R. 3089, would encourage new refinery construction, boost alternative energy development, and increase drilling in the U.S. The second bill, H.R. 2279, would expand American refining capacity on closed military installations.

I know New Jeresyans are suffering. I’ll be joining my colleagues on the House floor this week to call for decisive action from Congress to lower gas prices in order to relieve the strain on our families.

Sincerely,

Scott Garrett
Member of Congress

Privately backs drilling for those in political hotwater.


Two basic, devastating charts (ads):

1. The price of gas/oil when the 9% Nancy politburo took over, and the doubling/tripling of the same in less than two years;

2. A vote for (fill in the blank Democrat) is a vote for 9% Nancy and the continued failed policies of Dingy Harry and her.

You mean JIMMAH CARTER’s policy = IRANIAN policy= dhimmycrat party policy?

Had an AWESOME counterpoint fly into my brain yesterday while driving around. Here we are being held hostage by some Special Interest Environment groups by not being allowed to build new refineries, build new nuclear plants, drill for domestic oil, burn coal, create umpteen different grades of fuel, etc. Meanwhile, IRAN IS BUILDING A NUCLEAR BOMB! Don't see any large groups of environmentalists crying about that!!!!

I say we follow the leader of Dubai with regards to BIG ENVIRONMENT and tell them to go POUND SAND! This is OUR country too and we are going to become energy independent. And then when we do, they can enjoy all of the fruits of our labor and then they can shut the he|| up when they find out that we did it in an environmentally-conscious way!

Where does Nancy think the replacement for the reserves will come from? She’s hella dumb.

Well Obama, the Messiah, will simply make it so!

I'll need to find somebody who's lived through a winter. It would be enlightening to see what the annual cost of heating oil is going to be because of Queen Nan's obstruction to drilling. I bet a lot of people are going to see a very large bump.

Got a call in to someone who uses heating oil in the winter...

Oil falls to three-month low of $118

Bush's fault

The timing is suspicious

Tom Dashcle is deeply saddened

Women and minorities hardest hit

Inflated tires had nothing to do with it

FIND AND CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE HERE!!!

They're weakening ... don't let up the pressure .. CALL, CALL, CALL!

"But what looks like intraparty tension on the surface is part of an intentional strategy in which Pelosi takes the heat on energy policy, while behind the scenes she’s encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically...."

What the enemy will say is this: "But it's AMERICA's fault for poor Iran having to build it. They can't be left defenseless against America's imperialism. It wouldn't be fair."
