| Repubs to Continue Energy Sit-in on Monday at 10 |
| 2008-08-03 |
| As I was reading all of this happening on Friday (thanks to the technology that integrates into the Net), we could witness this first hand. I read then, that some were discussing, to keep this going -- returning with a handful each week, and continue to take to the floor. Seems, they are gonna do it! A number of Republicans will be taking to the floor tomorrow, despite the fact the House is officially in a five-week recess, to continue what Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) is calling a "historic effort to free Americans for generations to come from dependence on foreign oi." Last Friday's spontaneous uprising garnered both media attention and the ire of Democrat leaders, who responded to the GOP's refusal to leave DC to go on vacation when the nation's energy crisis is growing by attempting to have media and visitors expelled from the chamber so that no reports of what was being done there could reach the public. |
