KEY VOTE ALERT
Signing the Discharge Petition for No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007 (H.R. 3089)

The Club for Growth urges all House members to sign the discharge petition for the No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007 (H.R. 3089), sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry. This key vote will be part of our 2008 Congressional Scorecard.

This bill would vastly increase production of domestic energy supplies, providing much needed downward pressure on energy prices.

While this bill isn't perfect, it does allow for drilling in ANWR, the Outer Continental Shelf, for onshore natural gas, and provides for more nuclear plant licenses. Inaction on the part of the House to address this issue has forced members to circulate this discharge petition. If it is signed by a sufficient number, the resulting legislation would significantly relieve the supply constraints imposed by our own federal government.

Our Congressional Scorecard for the 110th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.
