The House of Representatives in Washington will take their summer vacation without passing any legislation to ease the pain on the American people that have to pay over $4.00 a gallon for fuel. While some Americans are cancelling plans for a vacation due to the high price of fuel, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat leadership announced they will shut down the first of August for a month long vacation without holding a vote to drill for American Oil. This is absolutely ridicules. The democrats do not have common decency to try and help the American people by passing a short-term solution to the problem or even to consider legislation for a long term solution. All they want to do is give up and let the American people suffer and have their disposable income shrink further. In November when I go to vote I will remember who those individuals are that decided they would rather go on vacation than help solve the current energy problem. We have had 30 plus years since the 1970's to solve this problem. Simply ignoring the American people who placed these individuals in Washington to represent us and to work for the good of the nation is about to come to an end with me.
My vote counts. My simple yet intelligent mind has some common sense. The democratic controlled congress' mind has had their butter slip off the biscuit and it's time for the voters to send those that want to ignore our energy problem packing so they can live just like we do.
