Drilling Victory does NOT include Pelosi’s fake bill
19 September 2008
Dear Arizona Taxpayer,
Good news: Our impending grassroots victory on lifting the offshore drilling ban has nothing to do with the passage of the Pelosi bill in the US House of Representatives on Tuesday. Just the opposite: our victory is due to the fact that the Pelosi bill is going nowhere, and the fact that the drilling ban is set to expire automatically on October 1st.
Bad news: On Tuesday (Sept 16), by a vote of 236-189, a majority in the US House of Representatives, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, passed a bad bill (HR 6899) that made a false claim of allowing significant increases in offshore oil drilling. The bill would also have increased energy taxes.
