Media Lizzy has a great summary of Dan's speech on the house floor last Friday.
- We shouldn’t be supporting Venezuela which funds enemies of democracy with our money (25% of our oil is from Venezuela.) Shouldn’t have to be afraid of Saudis, Russia-Georgia, Iran-Israel wars.
- It’s not “why don’t ‘they’ do something about it,” ‘they’ is us - you and me. YOU do something about it: call 202-225-4131 and tell Democrats to come back to the House to vote on energy.
- Pelosi is the “only person who’s stopping us from any movement on energy independence.” Thinks there are at least 50 Democrats willing to vote to approve drilling.
- We “said 30 years ago we’d be independent, how will things we in the future” if we still aren’t? “We need to do the right things today to protect the future of America.”
- Will fight continuing resolution to stop ban.
BTW, thanks Media Lizzy for making a difference. Your work on #dontgo is making a difference for millions of drivers suffering because of the price of gas. We've been reading the blog and are impressed.
