Want Drilling? Keep the pressure on

Posted by Yubaduck on Tuesday, August 05, 2008 5:48:05 PM
This article by Amanda Carpenter describes the state of the house protest on the lack of an energy bill, specifically on proposals relating to drilling.  http://townhall.com/Columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/08/05/boehner_calls_blue_dog_bluff , and here is the key quote from that article:
 
"Under House rules, Pelosi is required to schedule legislation for a vote if 218 members more sign a document called a “discharge petition” to support a vote on it. 106 House members have signed the latest discharge petition. Their names are available here." 
I have reprinted her list of signees below.  The house is half way to a discharge petition that would require an up/down vote on drilling.  If you want this,and your house member is not on this list, call, e-mail, and pressure them to act.  While you're at it, talk to your Senator as well.  Harry Reid is leading an equally unacceptable attempt to block voting on energy policy they know they would lose.  Their hope is that the issue will peter out over the five week recess.  I say not if we don't let it.
