At least they made a nice sign.

Dr. Price’s remedy for his party
Rep. Tom Price, M.D., has a prescription for what ails his fellow Republicans: Drilling and lots of it. Drilling in Alaska, drilling off the coast of Florida, drilling wherever possible to produce made-in-America fuel.
The Georgia lawmaker said in an interview that he has, well, been trying to drill that idea into the heads of the senior policy team of presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain. He said he believed he has made some headway.
Price acknowledged that one obstacle was McCain’s own vote against drilling for oil in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.

Broun to propose Constitutional ban on gay marriage
Rep. Paul Broun, a Georgia Republican, announced today he would introduce a Constitutional amendment to counter the California Supreme Court’s decision to recognize same-sex marriage.
“There simply is no basis for the suggestion that homosexual ‘marriage’ is a right protected by the United States Constitution,” Broun said. His draft amendment says that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman” and rules out state-sanctioned same-sex marriages.
A similar amendment was defeated in the Senate in 2006. Constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress plus ratification by three-fourths of the states.
