Petition: Call Congress Back, Madame Speaker

Last Friday, Congress adjourned for a five-week summer recess with the current energy crisis still unresolved.

When asked several times by ABC's George Stephanoplous why she wouldn't allow a straight up-and-down vote on expanding offshore drilling, Pelosi responded in part:

"This is a diversionary tactic from a failed energy policy...because the misrepresentation is being made that this will reduce the price at the pump. This is a, uh, again, a decoy, not a solution...We have a debate every single day on this subject. But we have a planet to save."

If you'd like Congress to vote on this issue now rather than later, click here to sign the petition. Let's remind our elected representatives who they really work for.
