There was no way the house's version of the bill (championed by Ted formerly in DC and others) was ever going to pass. With the flip to the Democrats , it's never to the second power. If we wait until next year, it's not going to happen either unless we can convince Senator Landrieu to threaten to switch parties and force it to be taken up then (unlikely).
So we've got a window of about 30 days. Senator Harry Reid is behind our efforts as is President Bush. No matter whether you live in a Republican House District or a Democratic House District, call your Representative and tell them to get on board with the Senate version of the oil royalties - else we get nothing at all.
Go Mary.
