House Democrats Vote for Vacation While Refusing to Pass Comprehensive Energy Bill - Day 2

On Sunday, over thirty Republican Members announced that they would return to the House of Representatives to continue the Guerilla Congress's phantom sessions. Members will continue to discuss the need for an 'all of the above' energy plan with visitors, and keep the pressure on the Democrats to reconvene the House and allow a vote on offshore drilling.

The session is expected to begin around 10 AM Eastern. Twitter users on the #dontgo feed and members of the Facebook group, 'Rock the House! I Support the Guerilla Congress' have organized to capture video, audio and images from the event and distribute it throughout the web and to the MSM.

Those who are stepping up to get footage from the event are coordinating on #rth, and Eyeblast.tv has offered to promote any media uploaded to the website. If you plan to report from the event, be sure to stick to #rth and upload to Eyeblast.tv. From there, we will need the conservative netroots to alert the media about the Eyeblast content and promote it as much as possible.

Be sure to follow http://dontgo.us and Rock the House for continuing developments tomorrow.

You know who else voted to go

You know who else voted to go on vacation last Wednesday?  House Republican Whip Roy Blunt.  Can you explain why the House Republican Leadership chose adjournment and then had a temper tantrum about the House being adjourned?

Good question.

Let's ask Rep. Blunt, here on this forum and for the record, if he did support adjournment, and, if so; why?

I think members of Congress are going to find the Internet is a powerful two-edged communication sword. It cuts both ways.

Roy Blunt didn't vote to go according to your own link.

Look on July 30th. He was

Look on July 30th. He was absent for the vote on the adjournment resolution. That was the close vote where his presence would have made a difference.
