A MUST READ. This is the article about those who want to get cap and trade passed and how they want to do it.

Once again, my idiot senators returned pro forma emails to my rants telling them to stop, stop, stop. They aren’t listening. They know they don’t have to.

I had to click on your ID to see what State you are from. Yes, your senators are idiots ... but they're geniuses compared to my idiots. The black-hole of brains, Barbara Boxer, sucks all the IQ points out of those that approach her gravity field...

Hope this thing goes over like a lead balloon. I think in the end, the partisan nature of this current Democratic congress will be its undoing, but it still worries the hell out of me when we are talking legislation this sweeping.

The New York Slimes will push for this...even while their business continues to slide down the commode like so much excrement.

Inhofe says the bill is dead.

I pray he is right. This is a terrible, anti-liberty bill.

I see you’re from Washington. Here is a suggestion. I’d pick out one or two candidates who MAY have a chance to win in other states. I once contributed to Linda Smith when she ran against Patty Murray, for instance. There are states that should have more conservative senators (the Dakotas, Montana, Colorada, Arkansas, West Virginia, Virginia, etc.) where a conservative could be elected. Send a few bucks to good candidates, if enough people do that it makes a difference.

DO NOT GIVE UP ON SNOWE AND COLLINS

Keep pressuring both of them. They are able to be swayed, as you know.

Economic conditions and demands on the United States from China, heading into U.N. climate talks this December, make the Senate debate even more complicated, said Wheeler, who works now for B&D Consulting.

WTF??? China is telling us how to reduce pollution???

Hit their local office(s)with a protest and give the local media a heads up to what and why you are protesting.

When we quit organizing for attention, and start organizing for impact, I’ll know we’ve finally gotten serious.

Negative media attention is poison to politician’s ego and is seen as a threat to their power. When people do end runs around the politician’s media message and soundbites by talking to the media in front of their offices, it rattles them.

They will sit up and take notice. If you’re lucky, the media may even ask a pointed question or two of the representative or their spokesperson to get their response. No response at all to a media inquiry can be just as damaging and implies that the representative doesn’t care or has something to hide.

Emails and letters are allowing us to vent and blow off steam, but they are opened by staffers that might even be bothered to read a few of them. Staffers can and will lie to a representative and tell them what they think they want to hear. “Yeah, we had a few nuts against nationalized health care, but we reported them to the local authorities.”

If we don’t get inside their bubble, we are not going to have any impact.
