i would like to thank everyone who called their state representatives to try and stop cap and trade! it is not a win for taxpayers yet, but keeping up the pressure is certainly delaying the cap and trade vote!
without this pressure, they would have surely jammed this bill through and hurt the american working class.

And keep up the pressure on the healthcare bill to make sure we all have the power of choice. Sorry off topic- but I appreciate when our voices are heard once in a blue moon.
If I truly believed that U.S. action to combat global warming would be the catalyst for encouraging other countries to act, then i'd be a little more inclined to welcome some sort of responsibile climate change legislation. However, it makes little sense to me that we'd push Cap and Trade through, putting our own businesses and people under increased financial pressure, when major polluting countries across the world are not doing the same.
Cap and Trade is just another warm and fuzzy piece of liberal legislation that simply does not make sense at this point in time.
It will be voted on without any one reading it and it will be signed without a 5 day holding period so that we can read it on the net. So much for transparency. But that was gone on day 1!

Same thing happened when Jimmy Carter put a ban on reprocessing Used Nuclear Fuel. It was supposed to be a non proliferation gig to get everyone else to follow suit. They just looked at us like , "Now what are you going to do with the waste a$$holes?".....annndd now we have zero sense of energy independence.
