For three-and-a-half years, Vice President Dick Cheney has gone to great lengths to conceal who helped him write the administration's ill-conceived energy policy, which is little more than billions in tax giveaways (http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=38350#1) to the energy industry. (We do know, however, through news reports that disgraced Enron CEO Ken Lay was extensively involved (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/27/politics/27CND-SCOT.html?ex=1095393600&en=a51498ebea4fed35&ei=5070) .) Cheney repeatedly defied federal court orders to disclose who participated in order to buy himself time to appeal the litigation seeking the information in the Supreme Court. There, five justices did not side with Cheney, but further delayed the ruling by sending the case back to a federal appeals court on technical grounds (http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dean/20040702.html) . (Antonin Scalia, who refused to recuse himself from the case despite going on a hunting trip with Cheney (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/01/19/scotus.cheney.scalia/) weeks before, subsequently voted to resolve the case in Cheney's favor.) Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) has introduced a resolution, H. Res. 745 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=108_cong_bills&docid=f:hr745ih.txt.pdf) , that would put an end, once and for all, to Cheney's shenanigans. The resolution would require -- within 14 days of passage -- that Cheney disclose to the House of Representatives the names of the people who were involved in his energy task force. It is being considered by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce today. Write your representative (http://www.americanprogressaction.org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c=klLWJcP7H&b=100385&action=1235&template=x.ascx) and say you deserve the truth -- urge him or her to vote for the resolution when it reaches the House floor.
