I wrote about the Republican revolt<\/a> last Friday in Congress. It drove the Left crazy; Newshounds called it a “stunt aided and abetted by Fox News<\/a>“, Gay Talk called it “election pandering<\/a>” so you know it resonates with real America. I’d hoped through the weekend that Republicans would continue their antics since it seems to stick in the Left’s craw. Well, I got this email this morning;<\/p>\n

Dear Conservative Friends: <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

As you are hopefully aware, on Friday, House Republicans staged a sit-in of sorts on the House floor to protest Speaker Pelosi<\/span>\u2019s decision to go home for the August recess without a vote on the American Energy Act. Although the lights, mics, and CSPAN cameras were turned off, we were successful in sending a powerful message to the American public who were seated in the gallery.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

We are continuing the fight throughout the week with many Members returning to DC to take part. To that end, Paul Teller<\/span> and I would like to ask if you could send people from your groups to participate by sitting in the galleries? We are making every effort to show a strong presence in the Chamber each day.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

We will start each day this week at 10:00 am and continue as long as possible. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Please let either myself or Paul if you\u2019ll be able to send folks.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks so much in advance!<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley Hoy, <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

I received it a little late, so I won’t be able to make it today, but I just talked to Roy Blunt<\/a>‘s office and they’re going to get me on the House floor at 9 AM. I won’t be able to take a computer or camera but I’ll report on it when I get back out.<\/p>\n

Like I said the other day, it’s too bad Republicans waited until now to show their cajones<\/em>.<\/p>\n
