The House of Representatives just passed the Waxman-Markey "climate change" bill, whose real purpose is to enrich the U.S. Climate Action Partnership: a consortium of self-serving corporations like General Electric, General Motors, and Chrysler, and nonprofits like the Sierra Club that have to find some way to pay their executives and staffs without delivering tangible manufactured products or other items of value to society. It has been reported that Nancy Pelosi "persuaded" undecided Democrats by offering them pork barrel projects, again at the expense of the American people.
Here is how your Representative voted.

NBC might as well be renamed to OBC, the Obama Broadcasting Company. We currently have G.E. CEO Jeff Immelt, NBC's parent company, on Obama's Economic Advisory Board, and now we have NBC News Special Correspondent Tom Brokaw being appointed to Obama 's 2009-2010 President’s Commission on White House Fellowships.
Secession now!!
I hear the tic, tic and tic on Nancy Pelosi. I hope she ends up in jail.
And never say never.
“Congress Favors Climate Profiteers over American People”
The Cap and Trade bill is so bad for America that it can be viewed as nothing less than traitorous.
I think we should keep things in perspective, and not be too harsh. Therefore, I propose that execution be off the table as a penalty.
Life at hard labor seems sufficient, for everyone involved, including the President and every Congresscritter that voted for it.
And never say never.”
Gitmo for that shriveled up old skank.
This Cap’n Tax gig is going to make a lot of lefties and their cronies very, very rich. Algore and his enviroloonies thank you!
I don’t agree. I think some of these rat bastards are such power hungry thieves that an example should be made of some of them. I recently read a book that described in some detail how thievery was dealt with in 14th century England. The perp was tried, convicted and allowed to reflect on their actions overnight, then they were taken out and publicly skinned alive.
That should get the attention of those lowlife criminals.
It will never get 60 votes in the Senate.If it passed by a slim margin in the house.
I hope you’re right, but the investigation of the hidden reports need to see the light of day.
For these congressional thugs it is about power and money. Period. The American people must throw them out and begin again.
Yep. Agree
