This is great news! Thanks for sharing this.
It’s about damn time. Hard to pin the blame on the D’s when you haven’t done everything you can do yourself first. Now the onus is only on Pelosi and Reid. Five dollar a gallon gas may be here during August. I bet a dinner at B.K.’s place they’ll cave in by the August recess and allow a vote. Any takers?
