Pelosi Completes 100-Hour Agenda -- Early

With the passing of energy legislation Thursday that revoked massive government subsidizing of big oil companies and paved the way for the country's greater energy independence, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi accomplished the goals she said the new Democratic Congress would achieve in its first 100 working hours.

The energy bill passed yesterday was the sixth of six items that Pelosi promised to push through in the first few weeks of Democratic control in the House of Representatives -- and it was all done in only 42 hours of floor time.

Here's the work that's been done, along with short video of each bill passing, courtesy of Speaker Pelosi's web site:
