WASHINGTON, April 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- House Republican leaders will introduce a resolution today calling for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) to unveil the "commonsense plan" to lower gas prices she promised almost two years ago, House Republican Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) said.
"As the price of gas climbs higher, it looks like the Democratic plan to bring down prices was another of their empty campaign promises," Blunt said. "If the Democrats have a plan, the American people have a right to know what it is. And today, House Republicans are putting forward legislation calling on the Speaker to make public her strategy once and for all. Americans have been feeling the pain of the Pelosi Premium for far too long, and while Democrats put forward legislation proclaiming this the 'Year of the Reef,' Republicans are going to fight to make it a 'Year of Relief' for American families."
On April 24, 2006, then-Minority Leader Pelosi announced that, "Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices" - back when a gallon of regular gasoline averaged $2.91. Today, with gas at $3.53 and marching steadily toward $4, Speaker Pelosi and this Democratic majority have yet to reveal that plan - or any plan - that would bring down the price of gasoline. The only proposals they have brought forth, Blunt said, would have actually raised gas prices by placing erroneous taxes on gas and oil companies, while refusing to allow for the responsible development of US energy resources.
In addition to introducing today's legislation, House Republicans will force floor votes addressing the record cost of gasoline -- and invite Democrats to join them in requesting their leadership address the concerns of American families.
When Speaker Pelosi took the gavel on January 4, 2007, the average price of a gallon of gas was $2.33 - a practical bargain, Blunt said, compared to the $3.53 national average this morning, according to the American Automobile Association.
The House Resolution gives Speaker Pelosi five days - in addition to the two years that have already elapsed - to fulfill her long-awaited promise to lower gas prices.

Blunt: $1.20 Later, Where's the Democratic Plan?

Lower gas prices, we'll have our troops home. Seems that the people were lied to a bit.

We'll see what plan she has to dictate OPEC's production levels.

Have a good one!:s4:
