“most politicians don’t see the light, they feel the heat.”

House Policy Committee Chairman Thaddeus McCotter weighs in over at RedState.com:

“And so it will continue…House Republicans will be rearranging schedules, flying thousands of miles, and refusing to take a paid vacation. Instead, the GOP will take to the House floor every day to ensure the voice of Americans’ is heard; there is a vote to make our country energy secure and independent; and keep America the greatest nation on Earth!”

Rep. John Kline (R-MN):

“There’s a saying that everything has been said but not everyone has said it, now it’s my turn. The question is what has Congress has done about the price of gasoline. The answer: Congress has done nothing.”

Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN):

“The American people won’t get a vacation from high gasoline prices, so why should Congress take a five week vacation?”

Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX)

“Speaker Pelosi stated that she would run the most open Congress ever - that has not happened”

   I want us to ‘Drill here, drill now, pay less’ but more than that I want our elected representatives to debate it and then vote on it.

   Bill
