Resolution opposing cap and trade adopted by Ohio Senate Tuesday

The Ohio Senate resolution was sponsored by Chris Widener, R-Springfield, who had 19 co-sponsors. The resolution states that Ohio receives more than 85 percent of its electricity from coal.
Cap and trade will result in a massive windfall of billions of dollars for the federal government through the sale of emission credits. Critics say the program wont result in an overall global decrease in emissions because many U.S. industries will relocate to countries with less stringent standards, taking away American jobs in the process.
Based upon these concerns, the Ohio Senate is urging Congress to refuse to enact cap-and-trade legislation. The resolution passed Tuesday, 21-11. Capri Cafaro, D-Hubbard, voted against it.

DC works for their own power..not for the people that elected them. Why do we keep electing these fools?

Meanwhile Arizona approved a proposal for the 2010 ballot that would constitutionally override any law, rule or regulation that requires individuals or employers to participate in any particular health care system.

I guess 140 years later, the Northern States are starting to realize what the South’s “Lost Cause” really was about - states rights. Too late, the Northern hero “Lincoln the Great” killed that. Ohio don’t waste your time.

I watched 1776 again last night. The founding fathers talked about states sovereignty and that the federal gov’t would only be there as protection and for small matters. FDR certainly had an entirely different mindset. He was one of a few that have led us down the path we’re on today. Polar opposite of what they wanted back then.

Ohio legislators listening to their constituents and acting in the best interest of the State and the Nation. Very surprising. Welcome, but surprising.
It’s time to take back the country.

i suppose,when push comes to shove,one can look at reasons(and this administration gives an inexhaustible supply of them) for a state to secede,ultimately,should it come to pass,it will be amount money.
The ruinous path that California has chosen seems to be,rather than a lesson,a model the goverment wishes us to follow. This is how we define insanity.

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
-- A. Lincoln Pres. USA 1860-1865
