The Jefferson Area Tea Party is rallying against Fifth District Congressman Tom Perriello. Thursday afternoon, the group held a protest at Perriello's office on Second Street in Charlottesville.
They are upset with Perriello's support of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The group says the bill, which still being debated by the Senate, is an energy tax.
Those people who support the initiative say it reduces the amount of carbon that electric utilities, oil refiners, and certain industries can emit.
Perriello voted for the so-called "cap and trade bill", which passed the House 219 to 212.
Good show.
On August 16,Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will be in Ringold,Va. to stump for Perriello;all you freepers in the area should mark your calendars and show up to show your “appreciation” for all these people have done to our country.
