Boehner: Dem Energy Bill “Won’t Do A Damn Thing About American Energy”

Via Email

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today made remarks on the floor of the House on Democrats’ sham energy legislation scheduled for consideration this afternoon.

“I appreciate the announcement from the chair that additional members will be allowed to give one-minutes. After in fact that it was announced earlier that there would be unlimited one-minutes. Then it was announced that we would only have 30 one-minutes on each side and I appreciate the announcement that we’ll have at least 20 more because our members want to speak. And I’ll tell you why.

“When a bill gets filed at 9:45 the night before and then it’s announced it’s going to come to the floor the next morning as the first bill up, a bill that no one has read, written in the dark of night that won’t do a damn thing about American energy. Enough is enough!

“The Speaker of the House said this would be the most open and ethical Congress in history. That we would consider things in a fair and open way. And it’s not going to be considered in a fair and open way. It shows up in the middle of the night, nobody has read the bill and guess what? The Republican Members that represent about 48 percent of the American people – we’re not allowed to offer a substitute. We have no opportunity to offer our American Energy plan that we’ve been on this floor talking about for three months, non-stop. We don’t even get a chance to offer the bill.

“It’s rigged. And the bill that’s coming to the floor is nothing more than hoax on the American people and they will not buy it.”
