Fiscal Policy: The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on an anti-stimulus package that in the name of saving the earth will destroy the American economy. Smoot-Hawley will seem like a speed bump.Not since a misguided piece of legislation imposed tariffs that turned a recession into a depression has there been a piece of legislation as bad as Waxman-Markey.The 1,000-plus-page American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) is being rushed to a vote by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before anyone can seriously object to this economic suicide pact.

Our group is planning to personally visit our two US Senator's offices every day to register our objections to this fiasco; this unconstitutional takeover of our freedoms. We cannot let this happen; not for our future generations. It will destroy what has taken generations of Americans to build.
