Democrats vote to take five week vacation; still no action on higher gas prices.

This week the House of Representatives voted 213-212 to go on a five week vacation.  House Republicans were united in their effort to stop this vote.  No Republicans voted in favor of adjournment.  The House Democrats have blocked legislation that would help lower gas prices, and now they have gone as far as leaving town to avoid talking about this important issue.  Rep. Adam Putnam issued a challenge to the Democrats saying, “It’s time Democrats put their boarding passes back in their pockets and get to work by voting on the American Energy Act.”
