H.R. 7688: Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act

H.R. 7688: "Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act" was voted on by the House today.
Not one reQublicOn voted in favor of helping reduce the cost of fuel. Do all repugs drive
electric vehicles? Guess it's only Democrats who have gas guzzlers. They are giving us good
questions to ask our R friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. Why do they hate Baby Formula
and lower gas prices? (Hint: big oil campaign donations?)

No way the GOP will vote for that - and most likely Manchin - as he is very laissez faire about the energy industry.

We don't need any repug votes to pass anything in the House since we're the majority.
I'm flabbergasted Rs would vote against something that would help most households.

Hope voters are motivated to ask them about their votes at town-halls.
That is if they are brave enough to have any.
