As we enter the third week of the House Republican ’staycation’, we still haven’t seen a Democrat in the House.

Nancy Pelosi is still out selling books, you and I are still paying nearly $4 per gallon, and Mrs. Pelosi’s investment in the Clean Energy Fuels Corporation is making more and more sense.

Over the weekend Mrs. Pelosi said she plans to introduce a bill when Congress comes back. It’s nice to know that her book sales and her natural gas investments are more important to her than winter heating oil costs for the American people.

Americans understand the issue in front of us and are demanding they come back. Contact your representative and tell them to get back to work. If they wait until September, they only have three weeks to work on a solution before they adjourn for the rest of the year.

It’s been 2 weeks since the House Republicans told Speaker Pelosi and the nation that they were not going home for their traditional August recess.

For the past two weeks we have heard 112 Republicans ask Mrs. Pelosi to call Congress back in session to discuss our nation’s energy situation.

The Republicans have introduced The American Energy Act, which is a comprehensive “all of the above” solution for our future energy needs, while the Democrats have remained silent. In fact, no one has even seen the Democrat plan for energy production.

Today’s episode is another recap of the remarks made by the House Republicans at their daily press briefings, along with a little surprise in the middle of the video.

I had some issues with one of the video files, so it’s a bit jumpy in parts.

Have a great weekend.

House Republicans were back on the floor today. They continued discussion on the American Energy Act and wondered once again why their Democrat colleagues weren’t anywhere to be found.

Could Nancy Pelosi have a reason for wanting to keep them off the floor? Does she have something to gain by asking them to maintain their silence? Some say silence in golden. In this case, she may have thought so.

Nancy Pelosi has some explaining to do. Her investment in the Clean Energy Fuels Corporation is a clear conflict of interest, and she needs to come clean on the details involving that investment. As Speaker of the House, she owes it to the American people.

Republicans returned to the House floor today to continue their ’staycation’ while Nancy Pelosi took time to appear on Larry King Live.

Too bad Larry King didn’t ask her about her sizeable investment in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation and the real reason she is stalling the energy vote in the House.

So much for her more ethical Congress. At least now we know what’s been motivating her to do nothing.

Today was day five of the Republican House ’staycation’.

While Republican House members made it clear they had America’s priorities in mind, Speaker Nancy Pelosi was busy traveling to Michigan to sell books.

She wasn’t even doing a good job at that.

Today was day #3 of the Republican House “staycation”.

Today was busier than any other day, thanks to the attention that the MoveOn organizers inadvertently brought with them when they decided to protest the event. Thanks guys!

In this episode, the politicians speak for themselves.

On Friday, Nancy Pelosi adjourned the House for a 5-week vacation, but Republican members of the House stayed to keep the discussion going.

Today, Republican House members showed up and did just what they said they would. They discussed our nation’s energy situation all day.

This is the second video in this series highlighting each day the Republicans stay to get the message out that they are willing to get the job done.

August 1, 2008 was an historic day in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi adjourned the House for a 5-week vacation, but some members were not ready to leave. Republican members of the House remained on the floor to discuss domestic drilling and alternative energy solutions.

We cannot acheive energy independence if the House can’t even bring the subject up for debate on the House floor. We need energy reform in America, and we need it now.

It’s time to cancel vacations and come back to work.
