Remember: Over the 2012-2035 timeline, job losses average over 1.1 million. By 2035, a projected 2.5 million jobs are lost below the baseline (without a cap and trade bill). Particularly hit hard are sectors of the economy that are very energy-intensive: Manufacturers, farmers, construction, machinery, electrical equipment and appliances, transportation, textiles, paper products, chemicals, plastics and rubbers, and retail trade would face staggering employment losses as a result of Waxman-Markey.

“All circuits are busy”. I’m trying but not having much luck.
I think that was the test vote.
GOOD!
Do we have a clue who the 14 are?

Red State makes it easier:
Here is a list of the Democrats who need pressuring. They are arranged by state.
Here is a list of the Republicans who need pressuring.
As always, you can go to http://www.redstate.com/action to find out your Congressmans direct phone number.
Call and encourage your Congressman to vote no on H.R. 2454 the cap and trade global warming legislation.
Call the cloak rooms. The cap. number is busy but I just reached someone in the Republican cloak room.
Talk about divided.
Got numbers?
Kirk is in the 10th district. Chicago thugs are probably sawing off his dogs head as we speak.
That wAs the test vote
Is she pulls the Bill, the Bill will be open for another vote at a later date.
Somebody, drop a house on that witch!
Keep calling!!!
It ain’t over.
Remember what just happened on Tue, June 16? After being told that session was it for the day, and there would be no votes until the next day, majority Democrats closed the vote — 40 minutes after calling everyone back in, and held a surprise vote.
Never trust a Rat! Keep calling!!
House hasn’t voted yet. They’re trying to wrap up floor debate as I type. It’s High Comedy or Tragedy, not that I know the difference with this bunch.
All switchboards are bust as is the server for (.gov)
Call the local office to express your view.
I just spoke with Representative Todd Tiahrt,
we are gaining .. . .keep calling!
Divide and Conquer.
DRUDGE SAID IT PASSED
____________
Where are you getting that? I’ve had Drudge up all day and it doesn’t say that.
Update,
Also, they don’t know who even has the 300 page amendment!!!
Yes I don’t see where it says on Drudge that it passed!
Turns out the Rules Committee inserted 300 pages into the full legislation last night. No printed and properly indexed copy exists in meatspace. Rep. Barton is trying to delay the vote via Parliamentary procedure, not to mention sticking a finger at the Majority for voting on bills that don’t exist, physically, on the House floor.
Just got thru. Provided a concise statement as to how this bill is nothing more than a tax on poor and working class people and will have very little to nothting to do with transforming our energy industry. I called the democratic cloak room number, and left my message for Henry Cuellar
