NANCY PELOSI - OPEN UP OUR HOUSE!!

On Friday I called the John Boehner's office to thank him (them) for doing this and told them to keep it up. I also called Jim Sensenbrenner's and Paul Ryan's staff to see if they were participating. I was told they were both heading home to Wisconsin. I urged both the staffs to have their bosses turn around and head back to Washington. I told Rep. Ryan's office I would really like to vote for him someday for President and how impressive it would be if he were to join his fellow Republicans in this demonstration.

I've been busy the last couple of days and haven't really been following along. Have either of these 2 gone back to Washington?

Al;so heard Sen. Specter (PA) did call on President Bush to RECALL THE HOUSE; I believe the Senate is still in session.

Annoyingly (is that a word?) enough, FNC seemed to think it was a joke. Made light of the entire episode.

When the Reps left at 5:00 PM for the weekend, I must admit that I was convinced it was a joke.

Yeah, I remember Schlep Schleptard calling it a "stunt".

I can't stand that twit.

I just sent the Madam Speaker the following letter along with my Congressman Dennis Moore.

We need leadership in America that listens what we need as a country.

Please! as distasteful as it might be, send the Madem Speaker and your elected official an email and tell them how you feel. Flood Washington's email servers and tell them to come back on Monday Morning to deal with Energy and the High Paying Good Jobs Drilling creates for our fellow Americans.





Dear Speaker Pelosi,



Attached is a letter sent to my Congressman Dennis Moore. Congress needs to come back to Washington Next Monday and start dealing with the Energy crisis in a Bipartisan manner instead of the grandstanding that has taken place when you turned the lights and camara's off last week. This is America and we all are acting like its a third world country.



We need to grow Jobs and that can only be done by changing our Can't Do additude to a Can Do additude. We need domestic drilling in the US and Coastal Waters and in ANWR. Drilling creates Jobs for Americans. High Paying Jobs! Building Nuclear Power Plants creat Jobs! High Paying Jobs.



What do you and the rest of the congress not understand about supporting the creation of Jobs and security for America?



Please deal with the issues that effect Jobs, Security and the future growth of our Nation.



Best Regards, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Congressman Moore,

Thank you for your August 6th, 2008 update from Washington, regarding the need to deal with the energy issue. I find the message very shallow when Congress could have take the necessary steps to continue the dialog and debate on Drilling Here and Drilling now for American security at home.

The defining moment occurred last week when Speaker Pelosi, showed America what bipartisan cooperation really meant to her and the democracy we have in America by turning off the CSPAN Camera’s, sound and lights on the minority side of the house. Yes that is a real partisan and a mature show of power by the Speaker of the House! I was greatly disappointed that you have not taken the time to address this grandstanding issue and the energy issues with Kansan's.

There is a real solution to the energy crisis in America today and that is for Congress to take some action in allowing for new domestic drilling, here at home and off the coastal waters of the United States. Even, the Alaskan's want to drill in ANWR! So why not drill there. Think about the new high paying jobs the drilling creates for Americans!

We have gone from a nation of Can Do to a nation of Can’t Do with Gridlock in Washington. Evidently if you’re not a part of the solution to the energy issue then your part of the problem! Perhaps six terms in Congress is enough in Washington?

Creating a windfall profit's tax against the oil companies and giving that money back to the voters is a bad idea. Everything were hearing from the Democratic Party is tax and more tax! And then were going to give you this $1,000.00 rebate from the windfall tax. Well as a shareholder of Exxon-Mobil since 1985, I find that message troubling as Barack Obama's plan to play Robin Hood with the American taxpayer is dead wrong. Windfall Profit taxes will hurt the Oil companies and hurt their stockholders who are voters in the 2008 election. Frankly more taxes do not create more new Jobs. All more taxes do is to drive jobs away from the USA.

You letter stated that you wanted bipartisan cooperation between the parties, If that's really true you need to tell speaker Pelosi loud and clear that congress needs to return to Washington next Monday. Americans want to see a Congress that is working in Washington, instead taking a FIVE WEEK VACATION.

Best Regards,

[ncfool]

I feel like you do on Dennis Moore! Write him.

It’s my understanding that Republicans cannot bring in their own recording devices. What are the details of that?
