Pelosi & Democrats take a vacation while Republicans stay hard at work ...

from an email I just got ...

================================

More than a week ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in Congress voted to leave Washington, skipping town for five weeks without passing legislation to help lower gas prices.

But while Democrats have been on vacation, House Republicans have continued to fight for solutions to high gas prices.

Despite Democrats killing the lights, shutting off the cameras, and cutting the microphones, Republican Members of Congress have stayed on the House floor to demand a vote on the American Energy Act and talk with visitors to our nation's Capitol about the need for an "All of the Above" energy reform plan.

The support from the public in the House chamber is overwhelming -- as is the support from Americans across the country. And Americans everywhere are asking:

"Why won't the Democrats allow a vote on legislation that increases the supply of American-made energy, improves energy conservation and efficiency, and promotes the development and use of alternative and renewable energy technology?"

It's a common-sense plan and all House Republicans are asking for is a vote. You can help us now by making a secure online contribution of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25 today to the RNC's Congressional Trust account to help us get the word out to the voters about the Democrats' unwillingness to deal with the problem.

The Democrats in Congress believe the solution to the energy crisis is electing more Democrats who support Speaker Pelosi and her radical liberal friends who think "we're better off without cheap gas."

Meanwhile, Barack Obama's solution to the energy crisis is simply about checking the air pressure on your car's tires.

We need to fight back and help elect Republican candidates who are committed to real reform.

Thank you again for your continued support. We are going to keep up the fight on the House floor and around the country, and with your help - we will hold the Democrat majority accountable for blocking real energy reform.

Sincerely,
Robert M. "Mike" Duncan Chairman, Republican National Committee
Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)House Republican Leader


P.S. Pamela, Republicans in Congress are staying at their posts to demand a vote on dealing with the high cost of energy. Help us spread the word about the Nancy Pelosi Democrats' who'd rather go on vacation than do their jobs by making a secure online campaign contribution of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25 to the RNC's Congressional Trust account today.
