Dear Friend,

Last Friday, the United States House of Representatives, under Democrat Leadership, adjourned for a 5-week vacation. Normally, no one would raise an eyebrow; however, when the Democrats left, they did so without passing any form of energy legislation. They have left for over a month without doing anything to help lower gas prices. That means we’ll see another month of inaction on the energy crisis.

The Democrats left, they turned off the lights, they turned off the cameras and they turned off the microphones. But, House Republicans did not leave. That’s right, House Republicans are still here, talking to the American people, demanding that House Democrats come back and ease the increasing burdens on families. Republicans are fighting so that the American people are not left high and dry.

Now, we need your help. Join us by signing this petition to call on the Democrat Leadership to return to Washington, DC, to pass a bill that will increase American energy supply, open up offshore drilling and eliminate our reliance on foreign oil.

This is supposed to be the People’s House. It’s unfortunate that the Democrats don’t see it that way.

Sign the Petition at www.CallCongressBack.com today.

Regards,

Eric Cantor
United States Congressman

P.S. Sign the petition to Call Congress Back to lower the price of gas.

The wife and I both signed. I can’t believe the WH put out a statement saying there was no intention of calling Congress back in emergency session. They’re worthless.

So the rats vacated for five weeks. Plenty of time to make political hay out of the issue.

If the Republicans play their cards right they might be able to save some seats - maybe even pick up a few.

WHAT???? Not calling Congress back???? I hadn’t heard that. I wrote to the White House earlier today. Let’s keep the pressure on.

Filling up fast. When I signed right before I posted this, there were only 92 signatures.

True enough. But in the meantime, we can help by raising a ruckus.

686 and counting...

I can’t believe that GWB, a lame duck pres, hasn’t got the cajones to call the DhimmiRats on this one. Even if they show up long enough to convene and adjourn, the move will be a coup for the Repubs.

Can a speaker of the house be impeached for abuse of power? If so, that’s a petition I’d sign in a heartbeat! (Right after I sign this one, of course)

Thanks, my ISP can’t resolve it yet even though their own Nameserver returns the dotted decimal value. It is some internal table that the browsers rely upon I guess. It does happen with brand new URL’s and should resolve itself within 24 hours. I’ll try every once in a while and sign it when I can.
