The fact of the matter is nothing gets eager College Republicans’ blood pumping quite like an anti-abortion hottie. - Editor of College On The Record

Like the CRNC and the Rhode Island CRs earlier today, some Montana College Republicans are taking action to reconvene Congress and solve our country’s energy crisis.
CRNC. Check
Rhode Island. Check.
Montana. Check.
Which state will be next?
More and more videos are popping up. More stories are being printed. More students are joining. More petitions are being signed.
But we can’t stop now, we can’t stop here. We must keep moving, the people must keep speaking if they – if we - want Congress to act to lower prices at the pump!
Here’s what you can do, sent to us via the Guerrilla Congress Facebook group:
1. Call Speaker Pelosi at (202) 225-0100 as well as your US Representative and ask that they return to work and approve the American Energy Act. The American Energy Act is [a bill] that not only includes solar, wind and efficiency provisions, but domestic drilling and expanded use of safe and emissions-free nuclear power. You can learn more about the American Energy Act here.
2. Sign up for Twitter and start communicating on #dontgo. You can sign up for Twitter at www.twitter.com, and any update you post with ‘#dontgo’ included will be listed on the feed visible at www.dontgo.us. There is a thread on the Facebook group for people who wish to answer or ask questions about using Twitter and feeds.
3. [For our D.C. area readers, get] involved with the effort to attract citizens into the House chamber for the phantom sessions. Americans are upset about Congressional inaction and high gas prices, and we need to make sure they get to the House chamber to interact with members during the sessions. If there is a huge crowd gathering outside the House every day to take part in the phantom session, it will be a news story in itself. Join the conversation on the ‘Open House’ thread on the Facebook group.
And anybody who says that we can achieve energy independence without using and increasing these existing energy resources either doesn’t have the experience to understand the challenge we face or isn’t giving the American people some straight talk. … Congress should come back into session, and I’m willing to come off the campaign trail. I call on Senator Obama to call on Congress to come back into town, and come back to work.
