Nancy Pelosi Schedules Household Energy Tax Vote this Week! (MAKE YOUR PHONE CALLS!)

Eagleforum ^ | 6/23/09 | Action Alert

Late last night, during yet another closed-door meeting in the House of Representatives, the liberal Majority maneuvered to bring the highly unpopular 946-page energy-rationing bill, better known as the Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill, to the House floor for a vote by the end of this week!

Sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA), the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, H.R. 2454 imposes a system of "cap-and-tax" in order to combat so-called "global warming." This massive, across-the-board household energy tax is being disguised by congressional liberals and is being sold under the slogan "cap-and-trade," which simply means giving the government power to put a cap on the amount of carbon emissions (CO2) produced by the production of electricity, gasoline, and heating oil, and forcing businesses to actively lobby Congress for higher cap levels and to buy permits for the emissions they are allowed.

Rather than calling it "cap-and-trade," it should be called "cap-and-tax"-as it caps Americans' standard of living and taxes our use of products whose manufacture emits CO2.

If passed and signed into law, H.R. 2454 will further cripple our economy and drain your pockets in the following ways:

I did e-mail Pete Hoekstra. However, the so-called honorable Waxman cannot be reached by e-mail except by his chosen constituents.

Thus tomorrow I am going to call the switchboard directly to his office and let him know what I want.

I want these people to vote as if I were sitting right beside them representing the people they are supposed to.

[RebelYell1990]

Unfortunately I have that ignorant hippy Waxman as my Congressmen. This bill will totally knock small energy companies out of business and drive companies offshore. I thought Demoncats stood for the little guy?

Let’s get the lists out and keep the phone lines busy. Contact information above.

...in order to combat so-called "global warming"

It's not global warming any more - it's called climate change. They can't call it global warming since the Earth has been cooling over the last few years.

There's an interesting article in this month's (Aug '09) Sky & Telescope, titled "What's Wrong With Our Sun?" I found this bit very telling:

"From 1645 to 1715 the Sun produced virtually no sunspots at all. This quiet period, called the Maunder Minimum, was also a period in which Earth went through a period dubbed the Little Ice Age, a time of unusually cold temperatures, crop failures, and even famine..."

The article goes on to state: "In addition, these data also suggest that during the period 1100 to 1300 the Sun went through a grand maximum, with a large number of sunspots coupled with higher temperatures on Earth."

It appears that the Sun drives our climate more than Algore and his ilk would have us believe. It's not about saving the planet, it's about taking our money and controlling our lives.
