going to talk about creating jobs and keeping jobs in america, maybe we ought to speak -- out to scrap speaker pelosi'sational energy tax which will cost about 2.5 million jobs every year over the next 10 years. or smabe we should shove the health care bill which is being debated in committee as we speak which is going to take private health care away from millions of americans and shove them into a government-run system and on top top of all that, as a giant tax on small businesses, taxes employment and will lead to greater job losses in our country. if we're serious about wanting to create jobs, maybe we could work together to bring the american energy act to the floor of this house, our all of the above energy strategy which will create well over a million new jobs here in america, bring us more energy to the marketplace with lower prices, reduce our dependence on foreign sources of isle and guess what if we do all of the above, we'll actually have much cleaner air than the bill that passed here last month. mr. speaker, i think american families and small businesses deserve better than what they're

and in fact, as we speak, wolf, the president's chief of staff is huddled with conservative democrats in house speaker nancy pelosi's office. what he is doing, rahm emanuel, that is, is trying to calm the concerns of some of the rank and file who are, at this point, successfully delaying the president's top priority. one after another, conservative house democrats emerged from a strategy session, determined not to let up on their rebellion against their own party's health care plan. >> we are not there yet. and our biggest concern is making sure that we control costs and we are not ready to support a bill yet. >> reporter: that was the refrain of many in the 52-member conservative blue dog coalition, a democratic group big enough to dash their party leader's hopes for a health care vote this week. >> the members of the blue dog coalition are more united than i've ever seen and i think it is because health care reform goes to the heart of our core principle fiscal responsibility. >> reporter: meanwhile, democratic senators who already gave up hope passing a health care bill before summer recess are still struggling t

". >> i can't. >> no, then you should watch it. >> that's the show? >> it's healthy dancing, that's why they're showing that instead of the president talking about the economy? >> the senate judiciary committee is pushing back a scheduled vote for supreme court nominee judge sonia sotomayor. >> what's this about? >> republicans went to the rule books to force the week delay even as a fourth republican announced support for the nominee. i have no idea what that is about. >> they sho

i thank speaker pelosi and my colleagues for allowing us to come down for the next hour or so and speak to you. we're doing a joint hour here, occasionally those of us who are pushing for health care reform to happen for our constituents, this year, have come down to the floor to share our thoughts about the urgent need for reform. we're sharing this hour with the 30-something working group, which i'm honored to be part of and i know, our hope is at the very least representative ryan will be able to join us later this evening as part of this hour. but we are here to focus our thoughts and energies and to talk to our colleagues about the need to pass real, comprehensive health care reform for this country and for our constituents. we know what the problem is out thering because when we're out there at our town hallsing when wie setting up our office hours at the supermarket or grocery store, it's our constituents that are coming to us and telling us about the fact that they just can't afford this health care system any longer. if you're lucky enough to have insurance, you've seen your fa
