House Republicans revolted today, trying to get domestic drilling started to lessen the burden on American taxpayers and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Members participating in the spontaneous uprising included Reps. Roy Blunt, John Boehner, Michael Burgess, John Campbell, Eric Cantor, Shelly Moore Capito, John Carter, Mike Conaway, John Culberson, Charlie Dent, Jeff Fortenberry, Virginia Foxx, Louie Gohmert, Pete Hoekstra, Duncan Hunter, Thaddeus McCotter, Mike Pence, Tom Price, Ted Poe, Adam Putnam, Bill Sali, John Shadegg, John Shimkus, Tim Walberg, and Lynn Westmoreland.
Nancy Pelosi adjourned the House for a five week vacation while millions of Americans are still suffering at the gas pump. She won’t let bipartisan domestic drilling proposals come for a vote, and she’s now off promoting her book instead of working for the American public.
While Nancy Pelosi is off pushing her book, “America sends 50 million to Putin 200 million to Saudi Arabia 180 million to Hugo Chavez” because we can’t enough of our oil at home.
When will Americans rise up and say they’ve had enough? Forty GOP Representatives did that today… support them and let’s keep up the fight.
DRILL HERE. DRILL NOW.
