Background:

Last week, the U.S House of Representatives voted on H.R. 6532, a bill to rescue the Federal Highway Trust Fund (H.R. 6532, Roll Call #587). According to Representative Steve Latourette, the bill saved 12,000 Ohio jobs and $851 billion for Ohio roads (Abrams, Associated Press, September 12, 2008). Though Jean Schmidt did not vote on H.R. 6532, she participated on a publicity stunt to call attention to offshore drilling in the House chamber just minutes after the vote (Bendery, Roll Call, September 11, 2008).
