Pelosi fiddles while America burns


Here’s an issue all of us suffering from $4-gallon gas can agree on. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi turned out the lights on Congress and went on vacation, leaving us all to burn. A few Republicans are camping out in the Capitol in the dark until she agrees to vote on drilling for oil.

Eric Cantor (R-VA) is sponsoring a website where you can sign a petition to urge Speaker Pelosi to call Congress back in session in order to vote on an energy package to include offshore drilling:

We, the undersigned, believe that gas prices are too high. Speaker Pelosi has closed Congress for a five-week paid vacation, without taking any action to lower gas prices. We, the undersigned, have a simple demand: Call Congress Back, Madam Speaker!

If you haven’t signed the Drill Here, Drill Now! petition, join the 1,403,615 Americans who have.
