WASHINGTON, D.C. - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today announced Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels (R) will deliver the weekly Republican national address on Saturday, May 30. Gov. 
Daniels' address will cap off a week-long nationwide energy reform tour spearheaded by Congressional Republicans, who are calling for comprehensive energy reform as an alternative to the new national "cap-and-trade" energy tax advocated by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other Washington Democrats.
"Governor Daniels has emerged as one of our nation's leading voices for reform and common sense in government. I'm very pleased he'll be delivering the national GOP address as Congress prepares to vote on misguided legislation that imposes a new national tax on energy," Boehner said. "The American people know there's a better way to get to clean, affordable energy, and in Congress and in state capitals across the nation, reformers like Governor Daniels are advocating these better solutions."
House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN) and members of the American Energy Solutions Group this week are conducting national energy summits in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and California. The summits are being conducted to help the solutions group develop policy initiatives to lower energy prices for American families and small businesses, and create energy independence for the American people. Witnesses are also discussing the implications of the proposed national energy tax for middle-class families and small businesses.
