No vacation for congress until drill ban lifted:

NRAJOE · 07-18-2008, 04:46 PM

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, Grassfire.org Alliance

Congress is about to go on a four-week vacation without
taking action on rising gas prices. Please see below.
--Steve

Gas prices continue to soar yet Congress does nothing!

Just the other day President Bush issued an executive order to
expand offshore drilling but this do-nothing Congress hasn't
taken action to lift the legislative ban that prohibits more drilling.

I believe the first vital step to energy independence is for
Congress to get out of the way and allow more domestic
drilling! We must show OPEC we mean business!

That's why Grassfire just launched an Emergency Petition calling on
Congress to lift the ban on offshore drilling. What's more, our petition
demands that they lift the ban BEFORE they break for their month-long
summer recess.

If you agree that Congress should NOT go on an extended
vacation (over four weeks!) UNTIL they lift the ban on
offshore drilling, please go here to sign:

GrassFire.org - Real Impact Online.

It is outrageous that as gas prices have soared for months, Congress
has done nothing. Unlike Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and
the big government liberals, we don't want our government to solve
our problems -- we just want the government to get out of the way!

And right now, Congress is the last blockade stopping more offshore
drilling.

This is absolutely urgent. Again, your Senators and Representative
will soon be leaving D.C. for a long, summer recess.

We must band together and demand action...

LIFT THE BAN OR NO VACATION FOR CONGRESS!

And thanks.

Although I signed, I must admit I do not put much weight in these e-petitions.

I keep getting your info joe, I registered, but how do I sign it, everytime I go to sign, I keep getting your stuff and it shows as your e-mail address...

GlockMeister · 07-18-2008, 04:59 PM

I heard about their vacation on last nights news and the fact they wouldn't be back until Sept. or something. Must be nice to have a long vacation. And what do you bet it's a paid vacation as well? I heard nothing about this, must have just happened? HMMM.

Personally, I think they should get no more then 3 or 4 weeks a year, if that. I mean, does a countries Government ever stop running? NO. Not to mention they get paid damn good and get some damn good benefits as well as their wives/immediate family I believe? They should just count their blessings.

Tried to change the E-mail addy - wouldn't take it.

I think I signed NRAJoe up for more E-mail SPAM.

Sorry, Joe!

Backtrack on the address to the home page. That's how I got there.

oldjarhead · 07-18-2008, 10:55 PM

Are you guys talking about our congress...the USA congress?
I thought those jokers are always on vacation; except the one who's talking to the empty chamber every day. I guess they have congreeman of the day.

The truckers could block them from getting out in their limos to the airport. Let THEM eat cake. That Constitution was their employment contract and since they are on salary, they gotta stay!
Always remember they are our employees, not gods.

Nothing short of a 50 million man march, will get the point across! Keep this in mind, next November. Look at the voting record and vote the bastids and beotches out! Remember, they serve you, damnit! As off late, they serve themselves and the Special Interest Groups! Nancy Pelosi, DIE!!!!!!!!!

I think they should spend more time at home and vote using the net. At home they aren't insulated from real Americans. I know they will be back in Sept. they have to pass something that extends the moratorium on offshore drilling. It expires on Sept. 30, 2008. Keep them home delay delay delay.

The nation gets along much better when they are gone.I am willing to pay them to stay away. sam.
