Congressional Republicans: "We're taking our country back!"

Chanting, "Vote! Vote! Vote!"

Politico's Crypt is following the exciting events going on this afternoon in Congress with Republicans who want an up-or-down vote on energy before adjourning for the month of August. They feel that Americans need to have answers before Congressional representatives leave D.C. for vacation.

Republicans are having a sit-in! Nancy Pelosi ordered lights and mikes turned off and left even though Republicans had pleaded for weeks that a vote on this important issue be taken before going home.

The reason for not allowing the vote? Pelosi and Company would most likely lose because enough Democrats have lined up with the Republicans to pass the measure.

It's great to see Republicans finally standing up to the Democrats in such an animated way! There's no lights ... there's no microphones ... there's no TV cameras. Nothing boring about today's events! It reminded me of a recent local mass meeting....

Stay tuned for the latest!
