Congressman Jack Kingston (R/GA) today returned to Washington to participate in the floor protest staged by House Republicans. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi enjoys a five week paid vacation to conduct her book tour, Congressman Kingston and House Republicans remain hard at work - traveling through their districts to hear the stories of high gas prices hurting their constituents and by participating in an unprecedented debate on the House floor. Along with his colleagues, Congressman Kingston is calling on House Speaker Pelosi to reconvene Congress and hold a vote on a comprehensive energy package that would increase innovation in new vehicle and fuel technologies, allow exploration of American energy, and promote conservation. With this three-pronged approach, we can bring down the price at the pump and realize America's energy independence.
