Goodlatte at U.S. Capitol today ... joins other Republicans requesting Pelosi reconvene House

Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA 6th District) joined fellow Republicans today at the U.S. Capitol to call on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to reconvene the House of Representatives. The reason? Allow an up-or-down vote on energy at a time when hard-working Americans are paying $4 a gallon at the pump while Congress enjoys a five-week vacation.

As reported by WHSV TV-3:

“To move America toward energy independence we need a comprehensive and strategic plan that increases the supply, security and diversity of American energy, promotes conservation and puts real alternative fuel sources in the hands of consumers to lower costs. "We must lift the moratorium on drilling along the Outer Continental Shelf and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling, potentially producing nearly a million barrels of oil a day. We must diversify our energy supplies with alternative sources, including renewable fuels and wind, solar and hydrogen power and we should encourage the production of more nuclear power which provides CO2 emission-free energy."
