Latta to Join House Republican Leadership in Indianapolis, Indiana and
San Luis Obispo, California to Discuss Solutions to America's Energy
Challenges

WASHINGTON- Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green), a member of the
House Republican American Energy Solutions Group (AESG) will participate
in two hearings in Indianapolis, Indiana and San Luis Obispo, California
this week with leading energy experts to discuss solutions to America's
energy challenges.

The AESG will be hosting several summits across the country this week in

 Perrysburg, Ohio (April 7, 2009) - Black Swamp Conservancy will host an Earth Day celebration at Forrest Woods Nature Preserve on April 25, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. The celebration will include a seed planting and nature walk. There is no charge to attend and the event is open to the public.

Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine” (which a liberal administration could use to silence Rush Limbaugh, other radio talk show hosts and much of the new alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during
’08. In ruling out a vote on Pence’s proposed Broadcaster's Freedom Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA.) also signaled her strong support for revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” -- which would require radio station owners to provide equal time to radio commentary when it is requested.
