The BailOut Fiasco: The Vote
The U.S. Senate votes on the $700 billion bailout.
It’s a disappointing day for America
Test Pattern #90: The No Drill Energy Bill
During the month of August, House Republicans asked for a vote on their energy bill, the American Energy Act.
When House Democrats returned from their five week recess, Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised a vote on a comprehensive energy solution.
The bill she introduced is anything but comprehensive. It offers no provisions for oil shale exploration, nuclear power expansion, or clean coal or coal-to-liquid technology.
Drilling will only be allowed if states agree to let the federal government keep all the proceeds earned from the oil leases they allow. There will be no drilling in ANWR, and the bill does not even provide for one new oil refinery.
The drilling provision also calls for drilling 50 miles from our nation’s shores. Most of the oil available is located 3-50 miles, so in essense this bill is a “no drill” energy bill.
Nancy Pelosi’s so called comprehensive energy bill is anything but comprehensive. It won’t even produce more American made energy for Americans. I hope you’re ready to take your diet pills because if this bill becomes law, things are going to get pretty tight around here. She has made it abundantly clear that she intends to drive oil companies from America completely.

History In The Making
Test Pattern #81: The Lady Is A Liar
On the August 24th episode of ‘Meet The Press’, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi denied that her investment in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation was worth $100,000 to $200,000.
She lied.
While everyone thought she adjourned the House so she could embark on a spectacular book tour, she was instead, making sure the focus was kept off of her real reason for not wanting to solve America’s energy crisis. No matter what she’s did, whether she was buying a BMW steering rack or sprucing up her SUV, she promised the most ethical Congress in our nation’s history.
She lied.
Shame on you Speaker Pelosi.

Test Pattern #79: The Pro Forma Session
Republicans are standing in front of the microphone everyday asking Nancy Pelosi to call Congress back into session so they can begin debate on the American Energy Act.
A few of these representatives have called on the President to do so, since Mrs. Pelosi has no intention of doing it. The problem is, he cannot do it. The President cannot call Congress back into session if either the House or the Senate are in session.
Harry Reid has made sure that the Senate is kept in “pro forma session” to keep the President from making recess appointments, and ironically, calling Congress back into session to discuss energy solutions.
Watch this video to learn more about the pro forma session, and see one (in full length) as it transpires.

Test Pattern #76: Monkey Business
In the weeks and months leading up to August 1st, Nancy Pelosi made sure that members of the House congratulated the University of California-Santa Barbara Soccer Team. She also made sure that they declared National Passport Month, National Train Day, and International Year of Sanitation.
Heck, she even made sure that monkeys everywhere would be safer by making sure the House voted on the Monkey Safety Act. Meanwhile our gas prices were rising from $2.22 per gallon to $4.14 per gallon.
Doesn’t it make you feel warm and fuzzy to know that monkeys around the country are safe, while you’re paying so much for fuel at the pump?
Nancy Pelosi needs to come back to work. She needs to stop whatever she is doing, whether she’s in some sort of rehab program or simply getting auto insurance comparisons. She needs to get back to Washington and call Congress back into session. She needs to give an up or down vote on the American Energy Act, and she needs to stop the monkey business.

Test Pattern #74: Controlling Our Destiny
Day #15 of the Republican ’staycation’ and 129 members have returned to the House floor to continue the discussion of the American Energy Act.
The energy problem we are facing right now started many years ago as we increased our demand on foreign oil and did nothing to encourage the development of alternative energy solutions or develop our own fuel resources.
Nancy Pelosi still singlehandedly making this crisis worse by refusing to return to Washington and do her job as Speaker of the House. Getting her to work is worse than trying to cure a bad case of acne.
Call her office at (202) 225-0100 and tell her to call back Congress, today.

Test Pattern #72: Pursuit Of Happiness
It’s day #13 of the House Republican ’staycation’.
As House Republicans wonder how the Sierra Club can endorse a Democratic Energy Plan that no one has seen, the American people wonder when the Speaker of the House is going to ‘know her power’ and get her ass back to Washington. She acts like she has no clue what is happening anymore, and I am beginning to thing she needs to check herself into a drug treatment center or something.
We are running out of time. If she waits until September to come back, the Congress will have just 15 working days to complete all of their business (including this energy bill) before they adjourn for the rest of the year.
That’s right people. If they don’t pass an energy bill before the end of September, there will be no energy bill before the new year.
Call Speaker Pelosi’s office at (202) 225-0100 and tell her to call Congress back and get back to work, that is, if she isn’t in drug rehab yet.

Test Pattern #69: The American Energy Act
The American Energy Act will increase our supply of American made energy.
It will improve conservation and efficiency as well as promote new and expanding energy technologies.
All of this will help lower the price at the pump and reduce our costly dependence on foreign oil.
But Nancy Pelosi wants you to think it’s all about offshore drilling.

The momentum of the #dontgo movement is picking up steam. More and more everyday people are showing up to watch the proceedings in the House.
Today was day #4 of the Republican “staycation” and there is still no sign of Nancy Pelosi in Washington, DC. There is no sign that the Democratic leadership has any intention to work on a bipartisan energy plan. I sure hope Mrs. Pelosi’s book is worth it.
Come back to Washington now Madame Speaker. We’re still discussing energy, without you. What are you doing anyway? Working on your CDL training or something? Come on, get with the program and get back to work!
