GOP Congressmen Back to Work

While Dems Ignore the Will of the Voters

Tomorrow is Monday. Which means I’m getting up and going to work.

And so are our Republican Congressmen, to fight for energy independence. Meanwhile, the Do-Nothing-Dems are at home.

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.

As Right Wing Sparkle noted, I think the GOP might be getting their MoJo back.

I need to call my Congressman, Mike McCaul (R-TX 10) to see if he’s back in D.C., and if not, why not.

  1. Please, this is just a stunt- House Republicans had 14 years to attempt to end the Drilling moratorium if it was such a pressing issue.

    The fact is that the price of gasoline will not drop significantly or quickly even if this passes so the Congressmen are better off just spending time with their families.
