According to a brief article posted Monday evening in Roll Call: House Democrats filed a 1,201 page energy package late Monday night and said they are confident that they will resolve all outstanding issues in time for a vote Friday.
"There are some issues still under discussion, but we are confident we can resolve them by the time the bill goes to the floor on Friday," said Drew Hammill, spokesman for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Hammill said Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) "have all agreed on this approach for moving this historic climate change and clean energy jobs bill."
Citizens should take action and call their representative in Congress today.
