4. Well, he is a righteous dude
But, back to the Gas Tax Holiday. I'm not great at math, but a cursory glance at the calendar tells me Summer is 16 days away. And it was called a "Summer Gas Tax Holiday" so we should be getting relief by summer, right?

I mean, she's a leader, and she never stops fighting for us, so I'm sure it's going to happen. Just as all my neighborly Hoosiers who voted for her thought. I'm sure she'll deliver. Right?

Bueller? Crickets? Anything?

2. Not to kick my own thread, but I'm curious, and haven't heard a thing about it since NC/IN.

She promised, and so did McCain. When does this crucial legislation get out of committee and to the floor for a vote?

And why have we stopped talking about it? I would expect she'd deliver the Gas Tax Holiday to Hoosiers, at the very least. I mean, she "shocked the world*" and won Indiana, so I'm sure she's just all over that. Ready on Day One to Deliver Promises to American Workers. I can't wait, personally. I'd like to see her show some leadership.

Anyone...?

3. She Did Mention It In Her First Speech In WV....
I haven't heard anything since though. I wish she would push it, because it's such a strong issue for her. :evilgrin:

5. I think it's an important issue, and I hope Clinton supporters will jump in to talk about it.
They must be sleeping. It's kinda late. I'm sure they'd be all over it.

8. Yes, Memorial Day is about two weeks off and I thought Hill wanted it from Memorial Day to Labor Day
has she drafted legislation? gotten co-sponsors? gotten it scheduled for consideration?

10. What Gas Tax Holiday?
she now asks......"I didn't support no stinkin' gas tax holiday; that was Bill, and I can't be held responsible for anything that he said, even if the words were coming out of my mouth".

Would love to know if anyone's heard from the Summer Gas Tax Holiday. It never calls, it never writes. :cry:
