The MSM is sure to cover the
MoveOn.org challenge – and we have to maintain focus, support our House GOP, and
remember: you don’t need some insider’s permission to call Speaker Pelosi – and
ask her to call Congress Back. Like Congressman Cantor said on my show, what’s
Speaker Pelosi afraid of?Speaker Pelosi’s number: 202.225.0100

MoveOn plans to ‘push
back hard’ against House GOP

[ET]Liberal group MoveOn.org is urging its supporters to “push back
hard” against House Republicans who have been seeking to pressure Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) to allow a vote on offshore drilling.Although the
House is in recess, several Republicans on Friday and Monday have taken to the
floor of the chamber to discuss the country’s energy woes and demand that Pelosi
bring back the House and give the GOP an up or down vote on expanding domestic
oil production.Now MoveOn is planning to get
involved.“Republicans have been escalating their attacks on [Democratic
presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.)] and the Democrats over oil
drilling, and we need to push back hard,” the group said in an e-mail to
supporters, asking them to come to a 4 p.m. rally at the
Capitol.“Speaker Pelosi blocked their plan because it won’t help lower
gas prices—but it will line the pockets of Big Oil executives, the same people
donating millions of dollars to Republicans,” the e-mail said. “But Republicans
are working hard to make it seem like they’re fighting for cash-strapped
commuters—and not the oil companies who wrote their plan.”The group
plans to point to the ties between the GOP and Big Oil.“We’ve invited
the media, and having a good crowd is critical to show them that voters don’t
want oil industry gimmicks—they want real solutions like alternative energy to
solve our energy crisis,” the e-mail said.MoveOn acknowledged that
“Republicans have been dominating the debate around gas prices for weeks with
their sham drilling plan,” adding that the House protest is “getting a lot of
press coverage.”
