Hey folks,
I wanted to make sure you don’t miss the charade that’s being carried out on the floor of the U.S. House today. The Drill-Nothing Democrats finally brought their no-energy energy bill to the floor of the House today for a vote.
We need your help to defeat this bill. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell the Democrats in your state delegation to vote “NO” on Speaker Pelosi’s energy bill.
They bypassed the entire committee process in order to do this. In fact, just last week, the drill-nothing Democrat Congress announced they would bring an energy bill to the floor that includes more drilling, and now they say Republicans have to take “yes” for an answer.
I would suggest that they look at the fine print. The drill-nothing Democrat Congress has brought a bill that actually includes basically “drill-almost-nothing” provisions.
They say “yes” to drilling, but not in Alaska, not in the Eastern Gulf and not within 50 miles. They say “yes” to drilling but states must decide, even though they get absolutely no revenues for choosing to drill. I guess states are just going to allow drilling out of the goodness of their hearts. They say “yes” to drilling but litigation rules will allow environmental lawyers to tie up all leases from the very day they’re filed.
It’s time to end the charade! Stop playing politics with American energy independence! Bring a full and fair debate to this floor, and we will achieve a bipartisan result.
We need your help to defeat this bill. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell the Democrats in your state delegation to vote “NO” on Speaker Pelosi’s energy bill.

My older brother suckered me into a game of "Heads-I-Win/Tails-You-Lose." Once.
Steve Maley (Diary) Tuesday, September 16th at 4:24PM EST (link)These Repubs that want to make a deal just to make a deal must not have had older brothers.
This is a POS bill. Any Republican that agrees to it is a SUCKER. An agreement means Congressional Dems get everything they want and give up zero.
The Republicans, on the other hand, get to say, “I COMPROMISED!”
Hey, fellas, anyone for a game of “Bet-I-Hit-Softer”? Really. You go first.

“Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell the Democrats in your state delegation to vote “NO” on Speaker Pelosi’s energy bill.”
I am not exactly sure what to expect. Do I need to know my congressman’s name, can I just say I’m from Oregon, and do I just say I’m not happy about this fake-out bill?
Sorry to be slow, but I think with better directions and explanations of what to expect, more people would participate.

Holy Lord the horror of duplicate submissions
morganm Tuesday, September 16th at 5:33PM EST (link)I am sorry/not sure it was my fault. Connection was timing out– besides which it looks like it happened to others.
Please accept my apologies.
Contacted Corker about this a week or so ago.
Steph C (Diary) Tuesday, September 16th at 6:04PM EST (link)I know that’s the Senate but it’s the same bill the Gang of 10 have been working on and he basically told me to let him do my thinking for me.
Still, I suppose we can try… sigh.

I can get Rep. Wm. Jefferson (D-LA) to vote NO.
