A Lights-Out Session in the House
Posted August 1st, 2008 at 4.56pm in Energy and Environment.
Today the House voted 213-194 (with 24 abstaining) in favor of adjourning for a five-week August recess. Lawmakers chose to take a paid vacation instead of voting to address the energy crisis that has stalled American motorists and is doing its best to cripple the economy.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have not allowed a vote in Congress on ways to solve the energy problem. Pelosi claims she is trying to “save the world” by not allowing a vote for it.
So, with the vote to adjourn, the debate would seem to be over for now…
…however, members of Congress are making history. Republicans are on the House floor debating energy policy in the dark amongst themselves.
For those interested in the absolute latest information, you can follow Reps. John Culberson (R-Tex.) and Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) on Twitter as they “tweet” from the House floor on the energy debate. Heritage’s Rob Bluey is also on the House floor reporting on the situation. Follow all of their “tweets” for the latest updates (also, while you are there, follow Heritage, too).
