The Great Republican Revolt
This past Friday, August 1, something miraculous happened in the House of Representatives. Instead of grabbing their ankles for the Democrats’ adjournment resolution, House Republicans decided to act like Conservative and began a five hour protest on the House Floor. The reason for this unprecedented display of patriotism was Pelosi and Co.’s refusal to allow a vote on off-shore drilling. She turned off the C-SPAN cameras, the mics, and the lights. But she couldn’t silence our voice. The People were invited to our House. They were allowed on the Floor to join in the revolt. Representative after Representative gave stirring speeches. When it was over, the Sons of Liberty left the Floor to cheers of “USA! USA! USA!” And they’re still in Washington, working to bring energy independence to the country, demanding President Bush or Pelosi bring Congress back.
