Thank you Harry Reid! Thank you Harry Reid! You must really want to tempt fate in this election.
Then I guess the resolution won’t pass. Then we can blame Reid and the Rats for the stock market collapse. Perfect!
Thanks for the info - just called them AGAIN and mentioned the drilling ban and the bailout!
That’s a poison pill.
I just called Cornyn’s office.
Let him do it. Will not pass. Just more ammunition to use against the dems to win this election.
Anyone who can verify this, please weigh in for the benefit of the office-bound.

Ty for the tip. contacted both of my senators as well as passed this info onto rush, hannity, cavuto, et al as well as drudge
Thanks for the info.Will call.
I’m not sure it qaulifies as a sneak if anyone has followed them awhile.
I mean this is the Democrats pattern.
Announce Republicans have succeeded, in an attempt to convince the public it’s over. Then put it in the bill. It’s routine at this point for them to do this.
It’s why I didn’t cheer earlier.
Is this tacked onto the Bailout Plan or is is stand alone? Not that it matters, but curious!!!
I’m sure Barbara Boxer will listen to me...
Call your Senator right now I can’t I live in Californis our senator has no ears and has blinders.
BTTT- EVERYONE needs to call now- I’ve sent it to everyone I know as well
Contact your Congress critters to let them that you know the best oil is located in the first 50-mile range, shoreline to 50-mile point.
U. S. House of Representatives
And un-elect all the dimocrats who will not support drilling EVERYWHERE!
