House of Representatives Protest

There is an op-ed piece in The Washington Times by Rep. John Boehner, Ohio Republican, minority leader of the House of Representatives.   The Republicans protest of high gasoline prices is now in its third week.  Have you seen any coverage of it in the national media?  Read the article to see what is happening.  To keep up with the protest and what is going on you can go to John Boehner's website.  If you support an energy policy that will bring our gasoline prices down, you can go to grassfire.org to sign a petition demanding a vote on energy.  The danger is that when the House reconvenes, the enegy policy will be put in a bill that is so pork-laden, the Republicans can't support it or that they will use the procedures that do not allow amendments to a bill, but need a two-thirds majority to pass it.  Either way, the spin will be that the Republicans obstructed the Democrats enegy plan.  That is not true--so watch for the spin.
