That's right. We are hearing 210 - 210 with 14 undecided. Keep calling the swtichboard 202-224-3121 and emailing through here to ensure your message gets heard!
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.

The really irritating thing is that with a 97% re-election rate, these clowns have no fear of the voters...

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!
Would the Democrats take the server offline and take the phones off of the hook to stop anyone from contacting them?
It seems like something that they would do.

The RAT representing my district in New Hampshire has a web page that isn't responding. Either he is getting hammered with vote no messages or he has had it disabled to avoid receiving them. Either way, he is one of Nazi Pelosi's poodles and will vote as she yammers.
He is a waste of oxygen.

Well when some of those 97% lose their jobs that will change!

Please stop saying Drudge said passed...that is only for the procedural vote to get it to the floor today for debate instead of letting it die in committee.

18 1/4 minutes of debate time left.

Frank Kratevil (Dr. KratEvil?)is my Congressman thanks to a vote margin of about 1200 in the Obama landslide. He's in trouble in 2010 no matter what. If he is one of the deciding votes for this he's in even bigger trouble. It's “double secret probation” time, baby.

It looks like they’re wrapping up debate soon. There will be a vote, it appears.

Obama on Thursday called it "a vote of historic proportions ... that will open the door to a clean energy economy" and green jobs.
"It will create millions of new jobs," Pelosi insisted. Both Obama and Pelosi preferred to focus on the economic issues rather than on what environmentalists view as the urgency of reducing carbon emissions blamed for global warming.
The Rust Belt coal-state Democrats who have been sitting on the fence worry about how to explain their vote for higher energy prices to people back homeand how the vote might play out in elections next year.

Every number of my RAT rep (Hodes, NH District 2) is busy. Either the bastard has disabled his phones or he is getting slammed hard.
