Petition: Call Congress Back, Madame Speaker
by THE EDITORS August 6, 2008
Two weeks ago, Congress adjourned for a five-week summer recess with the current energy crisis still unresolved.
When asked several times by ABC's George Stephanoplous why she wouldn't allow a straight up-and-down vote on expanding offshore drilling, Pelosi responded in part:
"This is a diversionary tactic from a failed energy policy.because the misrepresentation is being made that this will reduce the price at the pump. This is a, uh, again, a decoy, not a solution.We have a debate every single day on this subject. But we have a planet to save."
If you'd like Congress to vote on this issue now rather than later, click here to sign the petition. Let's remind our elected representatives who they really work for.

Cory Booker tweets #IStandWithObama; Hashtag hijackers flood the zone
May 21, 2012 11:39 PM
Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker, the Democrat who defended Bain from the Obama campaign's attacks yesterday morning, has been backpedaling more furiously than a clown on a high wire. Tonight, in an effort to mollify his critics on the Left, he posted four tweets that included the hashtag #IStandWithObama. Conservatives immediately took over the #IStandWithObama hashtag to mock President Obama, and within an hour it became a trending topic.
Cory Booker tries to clear up his position on Bain attacks
May 21, 2012 10:25 PM
Cory Booker continued his quest to run screaming away from the apparently too candid comments he made on Meet the Press on Sunday. Despite attempts earlier today to #FreeCoryBooker from those trying to force him to apologize Booker went on the Rachel Maddow show to do everything he could to walk back what he said.
