After seeing the disastrous reaction to their hoax non-drilling energy proposal, it appears that Democrats are finally ready to give up and let the misguided ban on off-shore oil drilling expire at the end of September.

Congressional Republicans are continuing the session of the House of Representatives this evening, even after the Democrats have adjourned, turned off the lights, turned off the cameras, put on their sun glasses, and gone on vacation.
Democrats like Patrick “Li’l Pat” Murphy have gone home, but Republican members are staging a raucus protest on the House floor, some claiming they will stay until Congress is called back into session to vote for energy independence and others chanting “Vote, Vote, Vote.”
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), who was on a plane headed home, went back to the Capitol, walking on to the floor dragging his luggage. He got a standing ovation.
Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.) called it a “new Boston Tea Party!”
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said he was “not leaving until we call this Congress back into session and vote for energy independence.”
Rep. Tom Cole (Okla.), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said the dimly lit chamber is a “vision of the future by the Democrat Party: The lights are out, there’s no power, and the air conditioning is gonna go off soon.”
Call the DC offices of these brave Republicans who are fighting for our energy independence and thank them for (finally) fighting the do-nothing Democrats.

According to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, taxation is a voluntary process. No lie.
With gasoline prices still hovering at about $4 a gallon and no end in sight to the problems with our shallow supply of oil, the US Congress led by Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Little Bobby Casey and Patrick “sMurphy” Murphy are set to take a one-month vacation without taking any action on the matter.

C. Stephen Allred, assistant US Secretary for Land and Minerals, announced the availability of 3.9 million acres of Alaskan land for oil drilling. All that’s standing in the way of getting this oil and lowering energy costs is a congressional ban on domestic drilling that Democrat congressional leadership refuses to lift.
[NOTE: The New York Times says the area is 2.6 million acres containing 3.7 billion barrels of oil. I've updated the title to reflect the updated information. Perhaps it's a US/UK weights and measures discrepancy]
