Just spoke to her staff..she is still there on the house floor:)
I just called and said "There's a Republican revolt going on int the House Chamber and I wasn't seeing much coverage of it." I got a run around on it. Was told several times "There are no cameras on now. Cameras are not allowed." I objected, politely, that the story could still be covered.
He seemed mildly irritated that I would question that and asked if I wanted to talk to (name garbled) and I said yes. Got a phone tree that led to leaving a recorded message. I did...
"There's a Republican revolt going on in the House Chamber. I understand that the cameras are turned off. You can still cover the story. Thank you."
I hope so!! She would NEVER live that one down.
Thank you, Joe!
Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), Chairman of the House Republican Study Committee (RSC), and Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN), former Chairman of RSC, today urged President Bush to call for a special session of Congress after the House adjourned without allowing a vote on comprehensive legislation to develop more American energy and help the millions of Americans currently feeling pain at the gas pump.
The text of their letter is below:
The President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President,
The House of Representatives has not taken a vote since January 2007 that would expand domestic energy production. All the while, Americans are hurting. Every time they go to fill up their cars, trucks or tractors they feel the pain at the pump. High gas prices are harming the vitality of our families, the elderly, small businesses, and family farms. Each and every American is affected.
Today the Democrat controlled Congress adjourned for a five-week vacation without taking a vote on bipartisan measures that would lessen our dependence on foreign oil by allowing more domestic drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf. In fact, they adjourned without even allowing time for debate on the subject of drilling.
On July 14, 2008, you took the strong action of lifting the executive order that had banned offshore drilling. In so doing, you said that allowing offshore oil drilling is “one of the most important steps we can take” to reduce the burden of high gas prices. Now, all it would take is an act of Congress for that drilling to begin.
Since Speaker Pelosi has decided not to keep the House in session to allow this vote to take place, we urge you to use the power vested in you by the Constitution to convene an immediate energy special session of Congress. Under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, you have the power ‘on extraordinary occasions’ to convene the Congress.
We believe that the energy emergency that has increased the pain felt by Americans when they purchase $4 per gallon gasoline is an extraordinary occasion. We urge you to immediately bring the Congress back into session to do its job and give the bipartisan, pro-drilling majority a vote.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Called Shelly Moore Capito’s office to cheer her on. Young man was happy. However, her hiny ness has ordered the police to remove the Congressmen from the capitol at 4:30. I told him to tell them to stay on the Capitol steps. Hope they will. Can you imagine........our Congresspeople being removed from our house by force? The country is finished.
FYI for anyone from South Jersey - LoBiondo is on his way home.
I can’t believe my eyes OR ears.
I think liberalsim is a viral disease that quickly destroys brain tissue.
Fox showing some grainy video lol
You are right on ...
We (Republicans) in Congress have generally acted like pantywaists. And did it make us any points with the other side? NO! It rather emboldened them to know we were push overs. Look at the mess it resulted in over 7+
years. Wasted the best opportunity we had in many years.
Hung up on my when I asked for a vote on this.
It just confirms the obvious: The Dems act as if they are royals. Entitled to treat us like the proletariat.
We will not be hushed up!
I hope so, too. His show here drops off at 4:00. I’ll have to listen online, I guess.
Still, grrrrrr....

Check this out. Someone is parodying Pelosi...
” OK, I just got off the phone with COS. Serious skirmish on the House Floor (Ahem, MY floor). Silly GOP wants to lower gas prices.”
You’ve waited this long.......
It’s such a big story day, it’s hard to know who’s going to call in when.
The President should call a special session.
Woo Hoo ..!! They just showed video (cellphone) from
the House floor on FNC - Stuart Varney. They’re still
going ... YES!!!
Welcome and my pleasure.
I just told the House chamber We the People can take back the Capitol with these new media tools by networking and shining sunlight everywhe
WOO-HOO!!!!
You’re right—it was just a camera phone but....!
Sickening partisanship.
CNN- Wolf, just did a report about House going on vacation, not one word about any of this.
