Speaker Pelosi - Its Time For An Oil Change

Today, the House is debating the Comprehensive American Energy Security and Consumer Protection Act, H.R. 6899. The legislation is a bold step forward, helping end our dependence on foreign oil and increase our national security. It launches a clean renewable energy future that creates new American jobs, expands domestic energy supply-including new offshore drilling, and invents and builds more efficient vehicles, buildings, homes, and infrastructure. It will lower costs to consumers and protect the interests of taxpayers. It is a comprehensive strategy, and the product of bipartisan compromise. It offers Republicans who say they want a comprehensive approach the choice to make sure Big Oil pays its fair share. Learn more at: http://www.speaker.gov/legislation?id=0252

@Xjc6999j Right On Target! Well Said!

[MeyerG4Indiana]

Thank you for your work on this important legislation....

Every time this Congress is in session

We lose freedoms and money.

Why don't you just vote yourselves another pay raise every day? It might be cheaper.

Ms. Pelosi we yield to your superior knowledge concerning corruption.

[NHMntnHIGH]

she has a lot of money invested in "green" companies. Nancy your are a disgrace to the US Taxpayers and should step down as "speaker" of the house immediately, after which please report to gitmo for a permanent vacation under the watchfull eye of the USMC

We should never drill for oil HERE on US land. What a STUPID idea! This may make us more independent! Thanks Speaker! We should protect the swamp fly from extention! We should watch from our shores, as other nations drill off our coast to sell the oil to us. I should ride an electric bicycle as I wave to Pelosi as she crosses the sky in a Military Jet! (soon as I save$ from my Walmart Job 2 buy bike). Yes, Change We Can Belive In!...(Chant) USA USA USA ....USA USA USA....dah? Dauh? God Help Us.

Pelosi is a stuffing her bra with corporate money. (And she must be stuffing it with change because she looks like she is sagging.)

There was such passionate pleas on both sides that day. Congress has been working hard on this important American issue. Thank you for protecting our land from the big companies destroying it for oil when there is already land available for drilling. Pelosi has tried so hard to compromise, but Bushco has interfered, including spreading lies to help his oil buddies. I hope the Senate will pass this bill.

What a scam! If the the oil belongs to the American people, we have all been hijacked!

What happened to Legislation to fix out-of-control speculation in the oil markets that has caused energy prices to skyrocket?

or the elimination of billions of dollars in tax breaks for Big Oil, even as oil companies post obscene profits?
