CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Protesters gathered outside an appearance by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in Coral Gables on Wednesday. Pelosi signed copies of her new book “Know Your Power: A Message To America’s Daughters” at Temple Judea in Coral Gables. Outside the temple, protesters echoed Republican demands that the speaker bring Congress back into session to vote on a new energy plan. “If she would at least let it go to a vote, if it wins, it wins. If it loses, it loses, and I accept that,” said protester Pinchas Schachter. “But for someone to pull a tactic like that, that’s something right out of a communist country. Pelosi’s office noted that a majority of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted against 13 Democratic proposals to address energy supplies. Her office said drilling on protected land would not lower gas prices.
