House Republicans go back on the floor Monday to talk gas prices
Continuing
with their guerilla tactics from last week, House Republicans will be
back on the floor Monday to talk gas prices, even though Congress is in
recess, and they may stay there all week.
More than a dozen Republicans have already committed to make
appearances, according to House GOP leadership aide, including National
Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Cole (Okla.).
Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) and Mike Pence (R-Ind.), who lead Friday's
five-hour talkathon after the House shut down for the August recess,
are also expected to be there, according to this aide.
Update - Neither Boehner nor Blunt are expected to be in attendance at
Monday's talkfest, and its unclear if they will show up at any point
during the week, according to GOP leadership aides.
See I'm thoroughly enjoying what the Republican House is doing, but one thing that I have to ask and it is why is not the Republican so called leaders (John Boehner and Roy Blunt) going to be in attendance. They really should be there since they are the minority leader and minority whip. Also, if Republicans want to make this a bigger story, then all Republicans who support drilling and did not vote to adjourn should be protesting along with a true leader in the House Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana. Otherwise this is great for the Republican party. Finally some energy because they need it most right now. This is an issue most of America agrees with, but the Democrats still don't want to respect the people's opinions. I really hope now that the media knows ahead of time, they can send somebody to cover this story. When I say media, I know that the MSM won't do anything, but Fox News should at least cover the story. I hope for a successful day tomorrow and hopefully for the rest of the weeks to come. I wish I was in Washington right now, but I urge anybody near there to attend this great occasion. One other note, Mr. President you really have to use your constitutional authority now and call Congress into a special session. If you want to show Americans that you are serious about solving America's energy crisis, you have to force the Democrats to come back to work.
