CARTER FLIES BACK TO WASHINGTON TO HELP

08/05/08

U.S. Representative John Carter, the Republican Conference Secretary, today continued to help lead House Republicans in the third day of an unprecedented fight from the House Floor to help reduce gas prices and begin serious domestic production of oil and natural gas resources.

"This fight will not go away until Speaker Pelosi allows an up-or-down vote on energy legislation that relieves the back-breaking burden on our citizens," Carter said.  “It is ridiculous to walk away from critical work at a time like this for five weeks of vacation.”

“The chairs where Democrats should be seated are now filled with everyday Americans who have come to the House Floor to listen and respond to the Republican call for greater supplies of domestic energy.  This is a vote that must occur.  I am proud to help lead this effort for those here in Washington, and I also salute the congressmen and women scattered across the country working to force a vote from Speaker Pelosi.”

On Friday August 1, 2008, after Congress adjourned for the August recess, House Republicans stayed on the House Floor to protest and debate the need for an up-or-down vote on energy legislation that promotes drilling and exploration for domestic sources of energy.  Many of those House Republicans returned on Monday to continue urging Speaker Pelosi to bring Congress back into session.
