We need your help to stop the cap-and-trade energy tax!

The time has finally come for a vote on cap-and-trade, H.R. 2454. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called a vote just before the 4th of July recess, hoping to use the specter of keeping everyone in DC and ruining their holiday, to force cap-and-trade legislation through.

This is the key target list based on our most recent information. If your Congressman is on an undecided or leaning list below PLEASE click here and enter your zip code to get your representative's number and talking points on this issue.

“Rush said his sources claim the bill has been pulled.”

Too many defections in the trial vote?

E-mailed Paul Tonko and left specific messages at both his Albany and DC offices. The secretaries were very nice and sounded as if he would get the messages, but I’m afraid he’ll fall into lockstep with his other Big Brothers...

I see Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) is still “undecided.” I’ve raised just about all the hell with her that I can. LOTS of coal burners in her district. She really needs to get her act together on this. She’s on some shaky ground.

It does have an effect. The staff does tally calls on legislation. It may sound futile but it isn’t. We can stop this bill.

We shouldn’t just concentrate on republicans. I wrote to my socialist rep and reminded him that my county is up to nearly 17% unemployment and that if I end up paying another $1200 to heat my home, he will pay a political price. (I also reminded him that he only won by 2%)

Just called Frelinghysen’s office in Morristown, NJ, and was told he is voting against the bill.

I’ve been all over my Rep. (Lincoln Davis) about this and based on his email replies, I had the feeling he planned to vote “nay”. VERY glad to see his name in the “solid no” list.

If they actually get this to a vote and he does vote “nay”, I owe him a big THANK YOU.

I hope this monstrosity is dead in the water.

I am so happy that all 7 of Alabama’s representatives are voting no. Thankfully they are listening to their constituents. :) I called all of them yesterday and everyone of the offices confirmed a no vote.

Question: How do you handle calls to reps who are not your own? They always ask whether you live in the district and what your address is (so they can tell who’s pretending). What strategy do you use to avoid being ignored or written off?

I tell them I live in the state they represent and that I have friends and family that live in their district who vote. :) Always works.

Done,
here is my letter:

DO NOT VOTE YES ON THIS CrAP AND TRAITOR BILL!
WE THE PEOPLE are not as stupid as the people we elect. This is nothing more than more taxes and misery for the American People.

And we know what is coming down the pike, taking away our freedom of speech on the airwaves w/ the fairness act. Taking away our healthcare and then what, our guns?

How much more do you think we will take? The Constitution is being taught again because of people like you, the American people are waking up, and as Tojo said, we are a sleeping giant, and Japan found out the hard way.

Just remember what happened after the tea parties.

Signed Son of Liberty,
Longfellow*,——
(I signed my real name *)

MSN said the test vote passed.

I have contacted my congressmen on behalf of my husband and myself but only one is not on the Yes list.
