House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling members back to Washington next week to vote on a bill that would give $26 billion in aid to cash-strapped states, following the bill's clearing of a procedural hurdle in the Senate on Wednesday.

House members left town on Friday to return to their districts for a five-week recess, but Pelosi said that the bill couldn't wait for them to return.

"As millions of children prepare to go back to school - many in just a few days - the House will act quickly to approve this legislation once the Senate votes," Pelosi (D., Calif.), said Wednesday.

She said she was asking members to come back to Washington at the beginning of the week to pass the bill and send it to President Barack Obama for his signature into law.

Sending billions every month to two wars, and all those billions to the Pakistinkers so they won't keep supporting the Taliban.
